The actor, who was seen supporting Dr. Shroff shared his thoughts on what made him take such a huge decision of Organ Donation. "We (Genelia and Riteish) have been thinking about this (organ donation) for a few years now. During this lockdown, we got a lot of time to think about what we should do. Unfortunately, we didn't have a lot of information on organ donation like where to go and how to go about the process," said the actor while supporting Dr. Sunil Shroff on the 'Karamveer Special' episode of KBC.

"One day we both decided to make a video and said that we want to go out there and donate whatever possible," he added.
