"PETA approached me to do a campaign for them. They got to know that I was vegetarian. So they wanted to bring that aspect to to life, " the 39-year-old said here Monday at the launch of a Pro-Veg Add Campaign at Radio Club.
"I have been a staunch supporter of a vegetarian lifestyle for a very long time. I believe it is more healthier, compassionate and a kinder way of living. So I am more than happy to do this, " she added.
Poorna recalls how her work has had her surrounded by meat-eaters.
"At some point or the other I have been in countries like Argentina, they have steak for breakfast. Then in Brazil. There was always abundant opportunity to eat meat. Since I was young I have had huge love for animals, " said Poorna.
