Wearing shorts and a T-shirt that reads, 'Powered by Tofu', sexy, yet elegant Bollywood actress Amrita Rao recently shot for a sexy new pro-vegetarian ad for People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals (PETA) India. In the ad, Amrita proudly proclaims, 'I Am Amrita Rao, and I Am a Vegetarian'.
Amrita is best known for her girl-next-door appeal and for her role in the film "Vivah", in which she shared screen space opposite fellow vegetarian and PETA supporter Shahid Kapoor. "I call being vegetarian the 'Wow Rao' diet. 'Wow' because I know that being a vegetarian is the best thing I can do for myself, the animals and the environment," says Amrita, adding, "Pulses can get pulses racing, while corpse cuisine slows you down. Kick the meat habit and you'll look and feel better than ever."
