1/5

Plant power legacy

Amitabh Bachchan has spoken about moving away from meat years ago and now largely eats vegetarian. On television, he recently reacted strongly to the ethics of animal-derived products after a vegan contestant explained the idea of avoiding exploitation. The moment showed curiosity rather than preaching, and reinforced his public image of mindful choices, routine, and moderation in daily life that support stamina through long shoots and an active schedule.

2/5

Moral muscle model

John Abraham has described a gradual shift away from dairy and eggs, framing it as a moral decision, while still avoiding strict labels for his diet. Features on his routine note that he favours clean, home-style eating and builds meals around plant-forward choices. The result is a lifestyle designed for training consistency, recovery, and energy, showing that strength goals can align with more compassionate, lower animal product habits.

3/5

Ayurvedic vegan rhythm

Kangana Ranaut has spoken about turning vegan and linking the change to feeling lighter and more balanced in body and mind. In public comments, she has also described following a yogic and Ayurvedic way of life for decades, tying food choices to holistic living. Her plant-led approach often centres on simple, traditional meals rather than trends, presenting diet as part of routine, identity, and everyday discipline and inner calm.

4/5

Book sparked shift

Shahid Kapoor has said he turned vegetarian after reading Brian Hines’ book Life Is Fair, a gift from his father, and he later moved towards vegan eating. Pieces on his habits connect the choice to personal values and long-term consistency rather than short-term dieting. Alongside training, he keeps the focus on steady energy and routine, showing how plant-based preferences can be maintained through demanding film schedules comfortably.

5/5

Style meets sustenance

Sonam Kapoor has described being predominantly vegetarian and trying to keep her diet as vegan as possible, while acknowledging that travel can make strict choices harder. She has also shared that she gave up meat and reduced junk food as part of a more structured routine, pairing food changes with workouts. It is balanced over extremes, making plant-focused eating feel practical, stylish, and sustainable day to day.
