New Delhi: Actor and host, Jay Soni has started the year on a good note as he is receiving positive response and love for his role as Abhinav Sharma in the longest running show on television, Yeh Rishta Kya Kehlata Hai.
Jai Soni, who became a household name with Sasural Genda Phool, has worked selectively over the years having worked in over 20 shows in both fiction and nonfiction. The actor believes in being restrained and keeping his personal life private.
However one thing Jay does boast about and wants to impress people who are his fans, he shares, ‘I came back home after donating blood. This was not a boot camp or press event. I just went to a hospital I frequent, donated my blood and walked out. If you are healthy and have taken the advice of your family doctor, you should really try to donate blood twice a year. I can tell you all the advantages but you can find them all online. More than anything, it feels good that we can give back to our community in some way.’
‘I have seen that a lot of messages are being circulated on social media about the need for blood. Although we have blood banks, considering the population, I don’t think it is enough. Even if half the youth who are healthy enough to donate blood come forward and make it regular, imagine we will make blood banks and no one will ever have to run around during emergency situations . The benefits of donating are many but nothing beats the feeling of satisfaction. Fans follow their favorite actors and are influenced by their lifestyle choices, I hope they add blood donation to their list too,’ says Jai.
