In his message, Muzamdar said, ”I would like to say we all have this responsibility to save this child by making people aware that there is something called heart transplant. Honestly, I didn’t know about it, but I am aware of it now. I would like all of you to realise that this child desperately needs a heart.”

He continued, “With over 125 crore people in our country, we can easily create this awareness and save Aaradhya. I make this desperate appeal to you all.”

Moved by the plight of the Mule family, Muzumdar pledged to donate his organs.

“I would appeal to you to come forward and pledge organ donation. Let us create awareness amongst our families and friends and realise that organ donation is a crucial need of the hour in our country. We as Indians have some social responsibility towards our other fellow Indians,” said the cricketer in his appeal.
