According to report, people suffering from diseases and are deeply thankful to Salman Khan for his willingness to help. Four years earlier, Salman learned about a little girl named Pooja who needed a bone marrow transplant. He asked his entire football team to donate marrow. Unfortunately, at the last moment, everyone else withdrew, but Salman and Arbaaz were the only ones who went through with it and became the first donors.

Salman’s Thoughts on Bone Marrow Donation

At that time, Salman spoke about the challenges of bone marrow donation in India, saying, ‘We only have around 5,000 donors. The lack of awareness and our attitude towards donation are major issues. Donating marrow can save lives and is as simple as a blood test. I understand that some people are even afraid of blood tests, but by being a little brave, you can make a big difference.’
