5.Sonakshi Sinha
Recently, Sonakshi Sinha was named ‘Person of the Year 2022,' by People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals (PETA). The title came to her after her campaign against leather for PETA India, which amplified the message that “more than 1.4 billion cows, sheep, goats, dogs, cats, and other animals are killed in horrific ways each year to be turned into leather accessories that no one needs”. Sonakshi had previously accepted that she has lost a lot of weight after going vegan. She wishes to see a world free of animal cruelty and that's what made her switch to this kind of lifestyle.
