The People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals (PETA) conducted the Asia’s Sexiest Vegetarian poll recently. Guess who has been awarded the title? It is none other than Bollywood star Shahid Kapoor! The actor is a staunch vegetarian and is also responsible for turning Kareena Kapoor into a vegetarian. Incidentally, in the ladies category, Kareena lost to Taiwanese singer and actor Barbie Hsu. Kareena reportedly lost to Barbie by a thin margin.

Speaking about the title, Shahid said “This poll win also goes to break the myth that fitness cannot be achieved by eating vegetarian food.”

Others that were in the fray for the title were model Bollywood actor Mahima Chaudhary, Maggie Q, Hong Kong pop star-actor Stephy Tang, Mongolian singer Nominjin, pop star Faye Wong, and Taiwanese musician Yaya Meng.
