New Delhi, Sept 15: Her glowing skin and svelte figure has millions of girls aspiring to be in her shoes. But Bollywood actress Kareena Kapoor says it is her `vegetarian` diet that keeps her fit and glowing.
"Apart from doing yoga to keep myself fit, I am a pure vegetarian. I don`t eat meat and that has helped me a lot to keep fit," Kareena told reporters here over the weekend.
"I am proud to be a vegetarian and I am against those who eat meat. Go green to be fit, that`s the best way for me at least," she added.
Kareena had given up non-vegetarian food in 2006, that is two years after she started dating actor and former beau Shahid Kapur, a strict vegetarian himself.
But even after her break-up with Shahid, the actress has continued to follow a vegetarian diet to keep her weight in check.
In fact, in 2007, Kareena had also won the `Cutest Vegetarian` online poll conducted by People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals (PETA) India`s youth division `PETA Dishoom`. She shared the title with actor R Madhavan.
Apart from eating vegetarian food for her figure and fitness, Kareena`s water intake is high to keep her skin radiant.
"I drink a lot of water for my skin. And yes, my mom is beautiful, so it is also my parents who have gifted me with beautiful skin," she said.
