Nikita Rawal Pledges To Donate Organs; Says 'It Can Light Up Someone's Life'
Actress Nikita Rawal has pledged to donate her organs. Speaking about her decision, the actress told IANS, "I researched on the blind in the country and found out that India can be cured of the entire blind population in about two to three weeks if everyone donated their organs. I think it's something that everyone should be involved in."
She emphasized that there are many people in the country who are in need of an organ. By pledging to donate organs, one can light up someone's life or give a new lease of life.

Nikita, who is the founder of Aastha Foundation that works towards the empowerment of underprivileged women in the Nayanagar area of Goregaon, Mumbai, also urged everyone to get vaccinated.
She said, "The pandemic is not yet over and let us be accountable to one another," said the actress, reminding of the necessity to get vaccinated".
