He also encouraged people to do the same and went on to share how donating blood is beneficial to the donor’s health. Sharing a picture of himself donating blood on his Instagram handle with a victory sign, he wrote, “I was told that my blood group B-negative is a rare type. Hospitals often fall short of it. Pledging to be an insignificant part of the very significant blood banks. Thank you @kokilabenhospital for allowing me to contribute,” and further added, “Thank you, Dr Rajesh Sawant, Dr Raees Ahmed, and Dr Pradnya for the impeccable care and professionalism. P.S: Do you know that donating blood is in fact good for the donor’s health?”
The post garnered over 1 million likes within a few hours. Film producer, director, screenwriter, and actor Rakesh Roshan reacted to the post, “Proud of you.” One of his fans wrote, “Yes it’s good for donors. Our body generates fresh blood in a few months, which is even better for us.” Another asked, “Will the (recipient) who gets this blood turn into Krish?” Many others reacted to the post with “respect” for the actor.
