Uday Chopra Is Now On A Vegan Diet

And it looks like the plant-based club in Bollywood is only growing! After actors Vidyut Jammwal, Kangana Ranaut and Richa Chaddha (among others), one more has announced his switch to a vegan diet: Uday Chopra.

The actor in a string of tweets spoke about how he had been vegan for over a month and said it's one of the best things that anyone can do. According to his tweet, he's has been vegan for 50 days now.

In a follow-up tweet, the actor said that dairy is just as bad, if not worse, than eating meat - and encouraged his followers to eat at least one plant-based meal a day. He also added that butter and ghee "is gonna kill you as fast as the meat."

It's not a choice about between being healthy vs healthier. It's a choice about being unhealthy vs healthy

Uday Chopra

Earlier this year, in January, Chopra had tweeted that he was contemplating trying out a plant-based diet and shared the link to an article highlighting the benefits, and how even one plant-based meal could make a big difference - from improved digestion to a lower carbon footprint. 

We're always happy to see more people make the switch - and we hope that Uday will embrace not just a plant-based diet, but a vegan lifestyle too!
