The Yudh actor recently stated that if any tobacco campaign is made, he wouldn’t mind being associated with it
The Bhoothnath Returns star has been actively campaigning for polio eradication since 2002 and was appointed a Unicef Goodwill Ambassador with a focus on HIV/AIDS and polio eradication in April 2005.
At a function held here Sunday to celebrate India being certified polio-free, he revealed that he would like to extend a helping hand to those in other countries as well infected by polio virus and also support other cause.
“If I get offer from other countries, I will do it. If any campaign is made, and they want me, for society and country, I’ll do it,” Amitabh said here.
The non-smoker is also open to anti-tobacco campaigns.
“If any campaign on tobacco is made, I am ready to work on it. I don’t smoke, so it will be close to my heart,” said the 71-year-old.
He also shared why he is closely associated to medical cause.
“I’ve been through medical episodes throughout my career. I respect Indian doctors,” said Amitabh, who was on many occasions critically ill and was treated in India.
The father-in-law of actress Aishwarya Rai Bachchan, who is married to Abhishek Bachchan, also said that his daughter-in-law makes sure Aaradhya, 2, gets her polio drops and other vaccines on time.
