New Delhi: Amitabh Bachchan was recently voted as the Asia's sexiest vegetarian male in an online poll conducted by People for Ethical Treatment of Animals (PETA).
However, it seems that Big B is not too happy with the title. According to reports, Bachchan said, "It is baseless to be bestowed with such a title at the age of 66.
He was chosen as the top sexiest vegetarian male and Hong Kong's singer-actress Faye Wong as Asia's Sexiest Vegetarian Woman for this year.
While 65-year-old Bachchan has dominated the silver screen in India for nearly four decades, Wong - known as the "diva of Asia" - has graced the covers of leading lifestyle magazines like Vogue, Elle and Marie Claire, in addition to having a successful musical career.
Runners-up in the competition included Taiwanese stage artist Barbie Xu, Hong Kong's popular actress Maggie Q and Cantopop singer and actress Stephy Tang, according to a statement posted on the PETA Asia-Pacific portal.
"Going vegetarian is the best thing you can do for animals, the Earth and your health. Plus, there's no easier way stay slim and sexy -- and Faye and Amitabh are living proof," PETA South Asia Director Jason Baker told the media.
Outside the Asian continent, pop star Leona Lewis, singer Chris Martin and TV show host Russell Brand were among the celebrities who were voted as sexiest veggies.
