“Yasir Nawaz and Nida Yasir came today at the Dow to donate plasma after being recovered from COVID-19. The official Twitter account of the hospital also carried a brief statement of Yasir in which the actor said: "Your plasma can save two more (lives), if you have recovered from COVID-19, please donate your plasma and be a lifesaver."

The “Mera Dil Mera Dushman” actor posted a video on his Instagram account in which he is seen lying on a hospital bed urging those in the same predicament to donate their plasma as well.

“I am making this video to appeal to those people who are familiar with me or give even the slightest weight to my words, to donate their plasma,” he said.

He added, “This is an act of kindness. By the grace of God you managed to make it out through testing times. So it’s your duty now to donate your plasma to serve humanity.”
