Abhishek Bachchan, Hrithik Roshan & Other Bollywood Celebs go ‘Ulta’ to Spread Awareness on World Thalassaemia Day

Today is World Thalassemia Day, a disease that captures the child right from birth. Some people who have minor thalassemia lead an almost healthy life, but those who have major thalassemia have to give blood every 21 days. The blood sac is vomited, and because of blood transfusions every 21 days, the patients of Thalassemia get stuck in the blood sac in their life. Bollywood stars have come forward to support Thalassemia patients. These stars have shared their reverse photos on social media with the hashtag upside down, stopping Thalassemia.

Let me tell you, Thalassemia disease is a type of blood disorder. In this, red blood cells are not produced properly in the patient’s body and the lifespan of these cells is also reduced, due to this, one unit of blood is given to these children every 21 days. See the post of Bollywood stars-

Bollywood actor Abhishek Bachchan has supported Thalassemia patients by sharing a reverse picture.

Blood bags are turned ‘ulta’ to help Thalassemia Major patients stay alive. So, today on World Thalassemia Day, I’m going 'ulta' to support the #UltaHokeThalassemiaRoke campaign Today on 8th May, World Thalassemia Day, I am taking this challenge to create awareness about Thalassemia Warriors. These Warriors are fighting a blood disorder, that if not dealt with through professional medical help, can reduce life expectancy, impact physical growth and create bone deformities. These patients need blood transfusions every 2-4 weeks to slow down the deadly effects of Thalassemia Major. You can help create awareness by posting your ‘ulta’ picture and challenging 3 friends to do the same. I invite @arjunkapoor @ranveersingh and @ajaydevgn to post their ‘ulta’ image, be part of the #UltaHokeThalassemiaRoke campaign.

Thalassemia is a hereditary disease, that means if the mother or father has symptoms of thalassemia in one or both of them, then this disease can also occur to the child. Therefore, it is necessary to get a medical test done before marriage or before planning a child.
