Jackie Shroff is often known for his philanthropic stance. During his public appearances, he is often seen with a sapling in his hands, promoting afforestation. Not to forget how he always gifts a plant to anyone he meets, because he believes an oxygen source is the best present mankind can get. However, not many know that he is also an ardent follower of a healthy lifestyle and being a vegetarian. For this, People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals (PETA) India has awarded him with the title of 'Most Beautiful Vegetarian Celebrity' of 2023. To win this title, he left behind John Abraham and Anushka Sharma.
On winning the title after getting a maximum number of votes, Jackie said, ''I am very thankful to PETA India for this laurel. I have always loved following a healthy lifestyle, and vegetarianism has been a welcomed choice I made. Receiving such a wonderful acknowledgment for the same only makes me feel very humbled. I always advocate to the people that we should leave the world as a better place than it was when we arrived and this award only validates that I am on the right path.''
