Comedian Manmauji has donated the body of his wife Kiran Mishra to J J Hospital. Manmauji and his wife had both pledged to donate all their organs about 25 years ago. Speaking to mid-day, Manmauji said, “I have fulfilled my wife’s wish. After she passed away, I tried contacting Sion Hospital, but since there was no response, I donated her body to J J Hospital.” The actor’s wife was 63 years old.

Dr Lahane, dean of J J Hospital, said, “Yes, he has donated his wife’s body. But it is not really necessary to register oneself for donations. We are happy that more and more celebrities are coming forward and pledging their organs. It will help us in research as well as those in need of certain organs.”
