Mallika, who recently visited Mumbai to shoot an item number, ‘Laila…’ for the upcoming action thriller Tezz, was voted the ‘Sexiest Vegan’ of 2011 by PETA along with South star Dhanush.

The duo scored over Amitabh Bachchan, Hema Malini, Kareena Kapoor, Shahid Kapoor and Sonu Sood. The actor has always attributed her good looks and figure to juices, coconut water, salads and fresh fruits, all of which are an integral part of her diet. She says that the best part about being a vegan is having ‘a clear conscience.’

Last year she featured in the second issue of the world’s first 3D magazine, WMB3D: World’s Most Beautiful, a Los Angeles- based print magazine published and photographed by celebrity lensman Nick Saglimbeni that has to be viewed through 3D glasses. She’s really happy with describing herself as an average-looking girl with a nose , she says, “Your looks are a God-given gift. I try to maintain them through a disciplined lifestyle. I've always been pro-fitness and advocated a vegan diet.”
