Kunal Kapoor Calls Vegetarians Racist
Ranbir Kapoor’s uncle, Kunal Kapoor recently paid a visit to Pooja Bhatt’s podcast during which he stated that according to him, vegetarians are “racist.” The Sadak actress laughed and asked him if she was racist.

Netizens React
This opinion did not sit well with social media users and they did not leave any crumbs as they called him out. A person on Reddit explained how racism and food preferences are different. Additionally many people opined how Kunal Kapoor’s statement doesn’t make sense at all. Others stated how ridiculous it was for him to mock someone for their dietary preferences.
The terms related to racism should not be used lightly in conversation, as they are far more serious than people think. Respecting each other’s food preferences, whether veg or non-veg, is the bare minimum. If one is feeling excluded because of vegetarians, remember it is not the same as racism. Even now, some netizens are not able to wrap their heads around the statement Ranbir Kapoor’s uncle made on the podcast.
