Sonam Kapoor

"I stopped eating meat 4-5 years ago. What has happened now is that I've stopped taking milk and milk products. I am lacto-sensitive. A lot of people are lacto-sensitive. But they don't realize it. … In my own home, my mother is a strict vegetarian, always has been. And I've taken after her, I guess. … 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. … 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."
