Anushka, Kartik named India's hottest vegetarians
Actors Anushka Sharma and Kartik Aaryan have been named India's Hottest Vegetarians, according to votes on the official website of People for Ethical Treatment of Animals (PETA) India.
Anushka has become the first two-time female winner of the title, having previously won in 2015.
The actress, who was also named PETA India's Person of the Year in 2017, recently starred in an ad campaign for PETA India, proclaiming, "I Am Anushka Sharma, and I'm a Vegetarian."
Her other efforts to help animals include announcing plans to open an animal shelter near Mumbai, launching the PAWsitive campaign to raise awareness that animals suffer when people set off loud firecrackers, and successfully helping to demand a ban on cruel horse-drawn carriage rides in Mumbai.
"Going vegetarian was one of the best decisions I ever made. I have more energy, I feel healthier, and I'm so happy that no animals had to suffer for my meals," Anushka said in a statement.
Kartik said it only took one video of animals suffering and dying in the meat industry to convince him to go vegetarian.
"The kindest thing anybody can do for cows, pigs, chickens, and all animals is to stop eating them," he said.
Sachin Bangera, PETA's Associate Director of celebrity and public relations, said, "Anushka Sharma and Kartik Aaryan are saving animals by keeping them off their plates, and by sharing their commitment to being meat-free with the world.
"Their compassion makes them as beautiful on the inside as they are on the outside, and that makes them winners in our book."
'Luka Chuppi' to release on March 1, 2019
Luka Chuppi, starring Kartik Aaryan and Kriti Sanon, will hit the screens on 1 March 2019.
"No more hide and seek. Luka Chuppi to hit the screens on March 1, 2019," Kartik tweeted on Tuesday.
Directed by debutant Laxman Utekar and produced by Dinesh Vijan, the film is set in Mathura. It will present Kartik and Kriti as local TV reporters.
Luka Chuppi also features actors Aparshakti Khurana, Pankaj Tripathi and Vinay Pathak in pivotal roles.
There's much more longevity in comedy acting career: Vir Das
Comedian-actor Vir Das says he does not see anything wrong in comics being typecast in films and that there is more longevity in a comedians acting career.
Asked if he feels Bollywood typecasts comedians in films, Vir told a publication, "I don’t think that is just specific to Hindi cinema. It is specific to all cinema. Comedians are always typecast as comical in movies and series. I don't see anything wrong with that."
He added, "If you can add layers to that and make it a performance that works for you and as yoru fan base or experience begins to grow comedians can branch out."
Vir, who will be seen in Netflix's upcoming show Losing It, said that comedians can also branch out to other genres.
"Someone like Eddy Murphy or Ben Stiller or Anupam Kher or Boman Irani -- these are people who started out with comedy but have been able to do dramatic work, negative and positive work. So, I think there is much more longevity in a comedy acting career than the sexy boy acting career," he said.
On the Bollywood front, Vir will start shooting for the second installment of the Go Goa Gone franchise in 2019.
