Actor Vijay Deverakonda says that he will donate all his organs as he would love for them to be part of someone after his life. He recently attended an event and revealed he and his mother, Madhavi Deverakonda have registered themselves for the noble act.
A video of 'Liger' actor from the day is doing rounds on the internet and winning the hearts of many.

“Doctors tell me that there are a lot of surgeries happening only because of donors. It’s incredible that there are so many people donating emotionally for people. It’s a beautiful thing. At the same time, doctors were talking about how organ donations are comparatively less in South Asian countries,” says Vijay Deverakonda in the video.

“I think, I will donate all my organs. I would love for it to be part of someone after my life and help them in their life. I don’t see any point in wasting my organs. I stay fit and keep myself healthy… My mother and I have registered ourselves to donate our organs. It is such a beautiful thing that you continue to live on in some way because of your generosity. I encourage everyone to be open to the idea of organ donation,” he further added in the video.

His decision has been welcomed by many on social media. Reacting to it, one fan wrote, “Man with a pure heart.” “More respect and love to you Vijay,” added another one. Some also called him an ‘inspiration.’
