en Bollywood News World Kidney Day: Ranbir Kapoor, Amitabh Bachchan, Alia Bhatt of team Brahmastra pledge to donate their organs

Not many may be aware that legendary actor Shammi Kapoor who lived life to the fullest was down with a kidney failure and used to go to the Breach Candy Hospital thrice a week for his treatment. As Kapoor himself once admitted that he wanted to “live for the four other days of the week. When my wife would call me to enquire where I was I would be driving off to Lonavla to have a cup of tea. I loved my driving and I wanted to live it up with kidney disease,” Shammi had famously said.World Kidney Day: Ranbir Kapoor, Amitabh Bachchan, Alia Bhatt of team Brahmastra pledge to donate their organs
