Mumbai, Dec 02: The time has come for People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals (PETA) India to name its Most Beautiful
Vegetarian Celebrities of the year – and actors John Abraham and Fatima Sana Shaikh have won the coveted title. Fresh off
the set of her last action thriller, Thar, Shaikh is vocal about her passion for helping animals. The Dangal and Thugs of
Hindostan star has shared pictures of her fostered cats with her 3 million Instagram followers and spoken up for improving
animal-care facilities in Mumbai. Previous PETA India Person of the Year winner Abraham has tirelessly advocated for animals
in need, including teaming up with PETA India to successfully urge e-commerce website Quikr to stop permitting animal sales
and urge e-ticketing platform BookMyShow to promote animal-free circuses only. The recipient of a National Film Award and
five Filmfare nominations, Abraham is also a film producer and guardian to two adopted dogs, Bailey and Sia.
“John Abraham and Fatima Sana Shaikh are speaking up for animals in need and using their star power to inspire their
fans to do the same,” says PETA India Vice President of Celebrity and Public Relations Sachin Bangera. “PETA India is
honouring them for showing the world how easy it is to make compassionate choices that protect animals, the environment,
and their own health.”
Eating more plants also slashes the risk of suffering from cancer, heart disease, diabetes, and obesity; helps fight the
climate catastrophe by reducing greenhouse gas emissions; and can even prevent future pandemics. COVID-19, SARS,
swine flu, and bird flu have all been linked to confining and killing animals for food. Past winners of the title, which until 2020
was called the Hottest Vegetarian Celebrity Award, include Prime Minister Narendra Modi, Akshay Kumar, Bhumi Pednekar,
Shraddha Kapoor, Sonu Sood, Manushi Chhillar, Sunil Chhetri, Anushka Sharma, Kartik Aaryan, Vidyut Jammwal, Shahid
Kapoor, Rekha, and Amitabh Bachchan.
Shaikh will be seen next in Sam Bahadur as the late Indira Gandhi, and Abraham next stars in Pathaan, the most
anticipated upcoming movie.
