Vivek Oberoi turns vegetarian!

Vivek Oberoi never says die. According to recent reports, he has turned vegetarian. The change of palate happened while shooting for Kurbaan overseas. And when a journalist texted him to confirm this, Vivek broke into an essay message: “I never ever thought that I will call myself vegetarian. By virtue of being a half Punjabi and half Sikh, tandoori chicken was my staple diet. In fact, I remember teasing Kareena Kapoor during the shoot of Kurbaan saying, ‘Bebo, you are either a Punjabi or a vegetarian, choose one…’” and so on and on and on.

Maybe the guy was just dying to talk to another human being. Whatever the case may be, I hope this switch to vegetarianism does something to stop the never-ending whining and his propensity to fall in love with Tupperware. And, if that too doesn’t work, there’s always the Himalayas for some peace and quiet (for us while he’s gone).

But seriously though, we know we’ve knocked Vivek pretty hard in the past for his foolish choices, but this is one time he deserves kudos. It takes a real man to act compassionately with the welfare of animals in mind. For this decision he has earned our respect…and that is rarely given to any Bollywood brat. So take a bow Vivek!
