Claps for Vivek

A bloody good cause

Twelve years ago, when Vivek Oberoi was shooting for his Bollywood debut, Company, he learnt from a friend that a little girl with leukaemia was dying because her parents were too poor to afford treatment. At 10 pm, after packup, the actor drove down to a hospital and with the baby in his arms, told the doctor to start transfusion and that he would bear the cost.

Today, his "pretty little princess", Sahara, is totally cured and Vivek celebrates his birthday every year with her, other young survivors and also little kids who are battling the Big C. "We have a magic show, mascots, a movie and for a few hours I become a child myself," smiles Vivek.

The actor first donated blood when he was in school and continued all through college, going on to become the brand ambassador for the Cancer Patients Aids Association in 2002. "But over the last few years I stopped doing so," admits Vivek, who realising that the paucity of blood is the reason for the increased number of deaths, is now organising a blood donation drive across 300 Indian cities on September 6, to spread awareness and educate people on how to go about it.

He claims it'll be the biggest camp not just in India, but across the world. "The officials of the Guinness Book will be there. I hope we make a world record because then it will inspire many other Indians to contribute to the cause," he asserts, adding that both he and his wife Priyanka will be donating their blood together on D-day.

Vivek is nice and has a pure heart...he has always been involved in helping others with his own money...God bless him...👏

Despite his dramebaazi you have to appreciate him for his efforts. He had even supported a Tsunami hit village a few years back.

What should his organization be called?

Being Insaan?

Direct competitor: Being Human. 😆
