'Vivek, the real hero'

After learning that Vivek has gone the veggie way, members of the animal rights group People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals (PETA) India sent a gift to the actor thanking him for his kind choice.

“By going vegetarian, Vivek Oberoi has proved that he is a real hero for all animals," said a PETA representative. Vivek reportedly left eating meat after being persuaded by his Kurbaan co-star Kareena Kapoor, who is a strict vegan. Another Bollywood heartthrob, who prefers vegetables over meat, is Shahid Kapoor.
