Apart from Hrithik and Farah, Genelia D'Souza and Kunal Kapoor also shared inverted images to raise awareness about World Thalassemia Day

On World Thalessemia Day today, Bollywood celebrities like Hrithik Roshan and Farah Khan took it upon themselves to raise awareness about the blood disorder. They joined the #UltaHokeThalassemiaRoke campaign and shared inverted images of themselves to create awareness.

Hrithik Roshan shared an inverted video of himself and wrote, "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 friends to do the same," he added.
