“If Make-A-Wish Foundation or Charities Aid Foundation or Amazon can also put their heads together and facilitate this cause, it will be good,” said the 41-year-old at a Christmas event for the underprivileged and cancer-struck children here Monday.

As part for the Gift a Smile program, an event organised by online shopping destination Amazon.in in association with Charities Aid Foundation India, John distributed gifts to children.

He also said that whenever he is required for a social cause, he will be there.

“The last place I go is award ceremony, so I would like to be present for such causes,” said John.
