On July 1, Deshmukh posted a video on Instagram where the couple talk about their pledge to donate organs.

"Aaj 1st July ko hum ye kehna chahte hain aur aapko ye batana chaahte hain ki hum dono ne ek pledge liya hai. (Today, on July 1 we want to tell you about something that we have pledged), we have decided to donate our organs," said Deshmukh in the video.

"Yes, we pledge have pledged to donate our organs and for us there's no better gift than the gift of life," added Genelia.

“There is no greater gift to someone than 'The Gift Of Life'. @geneliad & me have pledged to donate our organs. We urge you all to join this great cause and be part of 'The Life AfterLife',” the Masti actor captioned the post.

The Indian National Organ and Tissue Transplant Organisation (NOTTO) wrote on X, formerly Twitter, "Thanks to Riteish Deshmukh & Genelia, the Bollywood star couple for pledging to donate their organs during the ongoing organ donation month of July. Their gesture will motivate others also to connect with the noble cause.#organdonation #Bollywood #savelives"
