Photogs attending the event were more interested in Hrithik’s tattoo than AIDS and Hrithik humored them by displaying it to the cameras.
The event was hosted by Heroes Project in association with the Mumbai District AIDS Control Society (MDACS) to reduce the stigma and discrimination against those living with HIV.

“This is not a one time thing, this has to go on. I am here to take my pledge to be a part of this and I will do whatever I can. Not only just come and give speeches but be personally present in places where I can pass on, embrace and educate people through visual medium,” he said.
Others attending the event included Farhan Akhtar, Nandita Das, Shobhaa De, AV V Birla Group chairman Kumaramangalam Birla, Tina Parekh and Parmeshwar Godrej with her husband Adi Godrej and daughters Tanya Dubash and Nisa Godrej.
Farhan read out a poem on behalf of his father Javed Akhtar, who specially wrote it for the occasion.
