Popular Marathi actress Priya Bapat, best remembered as the studious student in the Sanjay Dutt-starrer 'Munna Bhai M.B.B.S' for the Hindi cinema audience, recently donated blood for Covid patients, after recovering from the coronavirus. The actress was accompanied by her actor-husband Umesh Kamath, who too joined her in blood donation.

Priya Bapat shared some pictures, while donating blood, and wrote a long note alongside, talking about her first-ever blood donation experience. "Finally I was eligible to donate blood post-Covid recovery. I want to take this opportunity to give it back to society. This is my first ever blood donation. YES. I know I should have done this way before. But better late than never. I am extremely scared of needles and thus never dared to even take injections. I am definitely a rare piece. My blood group too says so. As I am A negative (A ‘-‘ve). It is even more important for a person with a rare blood group to donate blood. My doctor said, 'Blood is the only thing one can donate while they are Alive. And you should do it,'" wrote Priya.
