On Friday, Dharmendra took the first dose of the COVID-19 vaccine. Earlier in the day, the actor, 85, took to social media to remind people to wear masks and maintain social distancing after the new high in COVID-19 cases. “Mask laga kar baith... lockdown ko lock karna hai ..... toh do gaz ki doori aur mask zaroori,” he wrote. Later, Dharmendra added, “Tweet karte karte josh aa gaya aur main nikal gaya vaccination lene.It’s definitely not to show off, but to inspire you all... Friends, please take care,” the veteran actor said in a video, which was taken while he got a shot on his left arm.
