Mumbai: Bollywood actress Nikki Tamboli who’s known for her versatility, inventiveness, mystique and magnetism on-screen has taken a paramount decision in her life. The actress took to her social media handle today to promulgate the fact that she’s now decided to turn vegan on the occasion of Eid.
What’s interesting is that everyone is aware Nikki is currently dating actor Arbaz Patel who hails from a Muslim religious belief. The actress has certainly taken the audience by surprise in a positive way and how. She has always been a flag-bearer of positivity and empathy and no wonder, she’s a modern-day youth icon who inspires people.
The bollywood actress took to her social media handle to share a post that reads, “Go Vegan” and the caption read,
“Vegan is not a diet. It is a choice your heart makes. Because I’m being the change I wish to see in this world.”
On being asked more about her resolution and how difficult it was to make this decision during a time when he is dating someone who is a Muslim, Nikki Tamboli shares,
“For quite some time, I had been contemplating on this decision and finally, my inner calling prompted me to take this call. I have certainly realized the fact that no animal needs to die in order for me to live. I am definitely not at all in favour of the festival of ‘Bakrid’. I simply cannot come to terms with the fact that for the sake of Allah, millions of goats are being sacrificed.
I simply couldn’t bear the thought anymore. I believe change begins at home and that’s why, for me to have a strong belief and conviction about this, I myself had to turn vegan today itself. This feeling itself makes me feel tranquil, calm & reposeful. It’s a personal choice and I am happy about my decision. My relationship or my dating life is not supposed to decide or govern what I am going to consume right? For me, my individuality and my connection with myself is my top priority and I cannot compromise with that in any way.
It is a personal choice and it has got nothing to do with the religious belief of the person I am currently with. Religion and food choices are completely different things and people shouldn’t blend the two. I have always been someone who’s listened to her heart and gut feeling and I will always continue to do that irrespective. I hope more and more people listen to their inner calling and make this world a healthier & serene place for animals.”
Kudos to Nikki Tamboli for taking this big call and placing welfare of animals as top priority. On the work front, Nikki Tamboli has some interesting and exciting work developments and the announcements will take place soon. We wish her good luck for her upcoming endeavours.
