Veteran actor Dharmendra got himself vaccinated for COVID-19 protection on Friday evening. 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 earlier tweeted, "Mask laga kar baith..... tere tarboz koi nahin kharede ga.......lock down ko lock karna hai ..... to do gaz ki doori aur mask zarori, (wear a mask and sit, nobody is going to buy your watermelons, we have to lock the lockdown, maintain social distance and wear a mask)," Dharmendra captioned his younger days picture.
Earlier, Hema Malini, Jeetendra, actor-politician Kamal Haasan, Mohanlal, Nagarjuna, filmmaker Rakesh Roshan and Paresh Rawal have also received the COVID-19 vaccine shots.
The actor's tweet came a day after Maharashtra registered 25,833 new Covid cases on Thursday, a new high in the state surpassing the previous single-day peak of 24,886 cases registered on September 11 last year.
The Covid cases have also witnessed a sudden rise among Bollywood celebrities as well. Celebrities like Ranbir Kapoor, Sanjay Leela Bhansali, Satish Kaushik, Nikki Tamboli, Rituparna Sengupta and others have tested positive and are currently under quarantine.
On film front, Dharmedra will next be seen onscreen in Anil Sharma directorial family drama film ‘Apne 2’ along with his sons Sunny Deol and Bobby Deol and grandson Karan Deol.
