Actor Paresh Rawal and his wife Swaroop Sampat have decided to donate their skin. The couple has signed up with the National Burn Institute’s (NBI) skin bank and have been designated as ambassadors for skin donation awareness. This drive will help the cause of burn victims.

“The brand ambassadorship of Rawal and Sampat and their gesture to donate skin could go a long way in creating awareness about skin donation to burn patients to relieve them from their pain and infection,” said Dr. Shilpa Karnik of NBI. Skin harvesting is usually done after death and doctors can take up to an eighth of skin from the lower extremities as well as the back.
