Aishwarya Rai Bachchan Donate Her Blue Eyes, Salman Khan Donate His Bone Marrow

Aishwarya Rai Donates Her Iconic Blue Eyes: Bollywood Stars Lead the Movement for Organ Donation

Aishwarya Rai Bachchan, the glamorous daughter-in-law of the Bachchan family and one of Bollywood’s most iconic faces, has made a heartfelt decision: she will donate her legendary blue eyes after her death. Often called the woman with the most beautiful eyes in Indian cinema—admired not just in India but around the world—Aishwarya’s eyes have often been her signature. Now, with this generous step, someone else will one day see the world through her incomparable blue gaze.

Aishwarya pledged her eye donation through the Eye Bank Association of India—a promise she first made in 2010. “My eyes are my biggest asset. By donating them, I can give the gift of sight to someone after I’m gone,” Aishwarya said in a statement that reflects both humility and a strong social conscience.

Her inspiring move has paved the way for others in Bollywood to support the noble cause of organ donation. Interestingly, her former boyfriend Salman Khan also made headlines by pledging to donate his bone marrow, which could save the lives of patients suffering from certain life-threatening diseases.

The spirit of giving doesn’t stop there. Amitabh Bachchan, Aishwarya’s legendary father-in-law, has also promised to donate not only his eyes but several other organs. In fact, Big B is often seen supporting organ donation awareness campaigns, encouraging his vast fan base to become donors themselves.

Some other prominent names from the Indian film industry who have taken the organ donation pledge include:

R. Madhavan, who has decided to donate his entire body for medical and educational purposes.
Kamal Haasan, a pioneer in South Indian cinema, has publicly committed to donating everything from his eyes to his kidneys.
Rajinikanth, the superstar fondly called ‘Thalaiva,’ also plans to donate all usable organs, driven by his belief that service to humanity should continue even after death.
Priyanka Chopra, India’s global star, declared her commitment to donate all her organs, spreading awareness across continents.
Aamir Khan, another Bollywood heavyweight, announced in 2014 that he would donate all his organs when the time comes.

An emotional example that touched many hearts was the organ donation by late actor Puneeth Rajkumar. After his untimely death due to a heart attack in 2021, his family fulfilled his wishes by donating his eyes, restoring sight to two individuals and continuing his legacy of compassion.

Each of these acts sets an example for millions. As Aishwarya leads by donating her most celebrated feature, the message is clear: beauty and fame can also be channeled for life-changing, humanitarian purposes. Organ donation is not just an act of charity—it is the most profound form of giving, literally offering others a new vision or a new lease on life.
