Amitabh Bachchan:

Tagged as the megastar and Big B of Bollywood, Amitabh Bachchan has been involved in various social causes. The actor has also pledged to donate his eyes to an NGO he has a collaboration with.

Aishwarya Rai Bachchan:

Like her father-in-law, the actress, who ruled the hearts of many with her beautiful blue eyes, has pledged to donate them. She pledged to do the same in the early years of her acting career. So, it won’t be wrong to say that she is not only the most beautiful woman on earth but also has a wonderful soul. Don’t you agree?

Priyanka Chopra:

Known as Bollywood’s Desi girl, the actress took an oath to donate all her organs after her death. It is being said that PeeCee took up the decision after the death of her father. Talking about the same, she was quoted at a function organised by the Armed Forces Retrieval and Transplantation Authority (AORTA) as saying,

I, Priyanka Chopra, hereby pledge to donate my organs in case of brain death. I know the value of organ donation as my father at one point was deeply in need of one. As conscious individuals, we should all pledge to donate our organs. If we cannot live as good human beings we can be nice at least after our death. Life is beautiful and let’s live longer by donating organs.

Aamir Khan:

Unlike other actors, the Dangal star pledged to donate every possible organ of his body like kidneys, lungs, liver, heart and eyes to the ones in need. According to reports, he was inspired to take this decision while watching the film Ship of Theseus. Present during an event in 2014, Aamir Khan was quoted as saying,

I would be happy to donate all parts of my body that can be donated when I die.

Salman Khan:

Known for being associated with an NGO called Being Human, the Tubelight actor pledged to donate his bone marrow. He even urged his fans and followers to take part in such social activity for free. With this, reportedly, the actor has become the first celeb to pledge the donation of bone marrow. Following Salman Khan, his brother Arbaaz Khan also joined the noble cause. Talking about the same to a leading daily, Salman was quoted as saying,

We have only 5000 donors currently. It’s not merely the lack of awareness; it’s our attitude, that’s also the problem. And this will make us responsible for patients’ lives. Donate marrow and save a life. It’s just like a blood test and doesn’t take time. I know some people are scared of blood tests, too… but it’s time to become a little brave and make a big difference.
