On World Thalassemia Day, B-town celebs chose an exclusive way to craft consciousness on thalassemia, an inborn blood disorder, urging people to get tested and save their children from ‘half-life’.
Sharing pictures of half of their faces, several actors shared a common message with the hashtag #AdhiwaliZindagiMitao.
The post read: ‘Did you know that when both husband and wife have Thalassemia Minor, there is a 25% chance that their child will have Thalassemia Major and reduced life expectancy?’
‘Today, on #WorldThalassemiaDay, by posting this picture of half my face, I am supporting the #AadhiwaliZindagiMitao movement to remind everyone to get tested for Thalassemia and prevent giving their child half a life. Visit www.thewishingfactory.org or call 844-844-9544 to schedule a Thalassemia test and to donate to help patients,’ it further read.
To gather bigger support, the actors also tagged fellow actors at the end of their posts.

To be precise, Thalassemia is a blood ailment which passes down through families and results in an inadequate amount of haemoglobin in the blood, which is accountable for carrying oxygen.
