Sonam Kapoor On Vegetarianism

There are reports in some section of the media that Sonam Kapoor has recently converted to vegetarianism.

Not that Sonam minds speaking out on social issues. “For me art is related to what is happening  in our society.I am very grateful for the platform I’ve been given. It’s a responsibility. There are lots of young boys and girls who look up to me. If I keep quiet on an issue I believe all those who believe in  me they will  feel let down. So yes, I am not afraid of expressing my opinion.”

But Sonam is aware the platform to express myself comes with a responsibility. “And I take my  responsibility very very seriously. I will never speak on individuals. It will be issues that affect our country . I am so thoroughly Indian. I love my country, But that doesn’t mean I’ll lie about its weaknesses. I am not blinded by my love for my country.I am so glad I don’t have yes-men around me.When they surround you with flattery you stop growing. The same is true of India.We can’t just keep praising everything falsely. We can’t grow that way.”
