There were reports that Actress Sonam Kapoor has recently converted to vegetarian , and follows the only vegan diet. Whereas the actress denies the same and states that it isn’t a recent development. “I stopped eating meat four or five years ago. What has happened now is that I’ve stopped consuming milk and milk products. I am lacto-sensitive, says Sonam.
And because the actress has turned vegan she doesn’t believe in talking about its benefits. She believes everyone is free to follow what they like and there is no such hard and fast rule to follow. “I am not saying it is good or not good to be a vegetarian. To each his/her own. In my own home, my mother is a strict vegetarian, always has been. And I’ve taken after her, I guess. But my dad is not a vegetarian. He only eats white meat. So I guess everyone has his or her own dietary rhythm to follow. We can’t make hard and fast rules about it,” she says.
When asked about expressing her opinions on a certain issue she said, “For me, art is related to what is happening in our society. If I keep quiet about an issue I believe all those who believe in me they will feel let down. So yes, I am not afraid of expressing my opinion”.
She also adds, “I take my responsibility very very seriously. I will never speak about individuals, but issues that affect our country. I love my country, But that doesn’t mean I’ll lie about its weaknesses. I am not blinded by my love for my country. We can’t just keep praising everything falsely. We can’t grow that way.”
