In a recent piece of news, it has been revealed that actor Ranbir Kapoor, who lost his father Rishi Kapoor earlier this year, has pledged to donate his organs. 

On National Organ Donation Day, November 27, the 'Rockstar' actor made the announcement at an event organised by Amar Gandhi Foundation.

"Pledge and donate my organs, I hope that by me doing this it will make a difference to one person or two person's lives, and it keeps going forward and it will make a difference, so please do consider pledging your organs,” Ranbir said.

Interestingly Alia Bhatt also said, "It is important to make people aware of the process behind it. I think it is important to come and talk about the health issues and Amar Gandhi Foundation and Organ donation awareness drive make people aware of the prospects of their organ donation, alive or post-death."

Interestingly, Ranbir's late father Rishi had also pledged his organs in March 2014. 

Earlier this year, megastar Amitabh Bachchan too had revealed that he is a pledged organ donor and wore the 'ribbon of its sanctity' on popular game show Kaun Banega Crorepati, which he hosts.

Among other celebrities who are pledged donors are Aishwarya Rai Bachchan, Arjun Mathur, Priyanka Chopra, Aamir Khan, R Madhavan to name a few.
