He said that donating organs changed lives as it gave many desperate people a second chance at life. But, he thought, there isn’t enough awareness about organ donation and efforts need to be expended to that end. Aamir also felicitated families who have previously donated the organs of relatives who had died.

At an earlier interview with Aamir and his wife Kiran Rao, the couple said that they had often talked about donating their organs before but had never taken any steps toward it. It was only after Kiran saw the film The Ship of Theseus that she was really inspired to make things more concrete and then started to do research into the ways that she could legally donate her organs after her clinical death. Aamir, of course, was with her all the way and publicly pledged his organs at this event.
