The 'Dabangg' star's promoting vegetarianism, following Shahid and other T'towners

Sonu Sood showed off his chiselled bod in 'Dabangg' and now he's gone shirtless in an ad for animal rights group People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals (PETA) India. A hardcore vegetarian in real life, Sonu features in the ad in low-slung jeans with the tag line - Strong Body. Tender Heart. Go Vegetarian.

"I really thank PETA for making me a part of their family. I think we should bring that kind of awareness to everyone that we have to do something for animals - become vegetarians and do good to this Earth," Sonu, 37, said.

Sonu, who played a villain opposite Salman Khan in last year's superhit 'Dabangg', is the latest to join the list of celebrities like Lara Dutta, Pamela Anderson, Shahid Kapoor, Sir Paul McCartney, R. Madhavan and Anil Kumble who are promoting a vegetarian diet.
