Dharmendra gets COVID-19 vaccine shot to 'inspire' all

Bollywood superstar Dharmendra got himself vaccinated for COVID-19 protection. The 85-year-old actor tweeted a video where he can be seen getting a shot of the vaccine on his left arm.

"Tweet karte karte... josh aa gaya... aur main nikal gaya... vaccination lene... it's definitely not a show off... but to inspire you all... Friends, please take care (got inspired while tweeting and went off to get vaccination)," Dharmendra tweeted.

He was referring to his tweet earlier in the day that he had posted to remind everyone to wear masks and maintain social distancing, after Maharashtra registered a new high in Covid-19 cases the day before.

Dharmendra shared a throwback black-and-white photograph, where he can be seen sitting with sliced watermelons and a knife.

"Mask laga kar baith..... tere tarboz koi nahin kharede ga.......lock down ko lock karna hai ..... to do gaz ki doori aur mask zarori," Dharmendra captioned his photo.
