So Ranbir Kapoor decided to pledge his organs on the National Organ Day, said “I’m hoping that by me taking this action it will make a difference to one person, and the cycle continues”.
It has because immediately, Alia Bhatt spoke about the importance of the awareness of such an action. Years ago, Amitabh Bachchan pledged his eyes after death and soon Jaya, Abhishek and Aishwarya Rai Bachchan pledged their eyes as well. Crusade in film fraternity for sure begins at home.
There was a time, when in Hollywood every actor was attached to a cause/ NGO nobody in Indian show business were as yet aware to social consciousness. Over the years everything changed and today, every actor has a social purpose. For John Abraham it is protection of animals, in fact, this year, John Abraham sent a letter urging e-retailer Quikr to stop trading in live animals and it is because Abraham has teamed up with PETA India to push for a ban on animal circuses, speak up for Mumbai’s “dancing” monkeys, and star in an ad urging everyone not to keep birds in cages. He also adopted a community dog, his beloved Bailey; urged authorities to stop illegal pig slaughter in Goa; and put a football jersey on the auction block to benefit PETA India’s work to help animals. If birds are suffering in cages, puppies are being cruelly sold, or animals are in danger anywhere in the world, you can count on him to come to the rescue.
