Deepika Padukone has said that she will donate her eyes after death.
The actor can currently be seen in Race 2 opposite Jacqueline Fernandez and Anil Kapoor.
She told Bollywood Hungama: "I was at an awards ceremony recently, when someone from the media asked me if I will ever donate my eyes. And my reaction to that was an impromptu 'yes'. Frankly speaking, I never really had thought about pledging my eyes before that. But, I am so happy now to be a part of such a noble cause.
"The best compliment came to me from Saif [Ali Khan] and lot of other people who said that I have emoted and spoken a lot with my eyes. That really means a lot to me."
Padukone recently claimed that men rather than women in Bollywood get the credit for breaking box-office records.
Race 2 co-star Khan revealed last month that Padukone was asked to act "sexier" on screen by the film's directors
