Veg bodies

amrita raoVegetarian Amrita Rao says, “In Bollywood, the toughest thing is when actors have to build their bodies, go gymming and they need a lot of protein intake. Because we don’t eat non-veg, vegetarians always lack that protein element.”

However, she insists vegetarians can have a great body too.

“Of course, there are a lot of substitutes for protein – there is paneer, all kinds of sprouts. I would like to tell everybody, Shahid Kapoor and our wrestler Sushil Kumar, both of them are vegetarians and have built bodies,” she said.

Last seen in the 2011-film “Love U…Mr. Kalakaar!”, Amrita is looking forward to the New Year: “Two of my films will release in 2013 – one is Jolly LLB which will release in March hopefully and Singh Saab the Great, which is releasing in August. I will start filming for it in December-January. So I am looking forward to 2013, it’s going to be an exciting year of releases,” the 31-year-old said at an event.
