Dilip Joshi to Ram Kapoor; TV celebs take Covid-19 vaccination and urge people to take precautionary health measures

It has been a year since the world has been fighting against the Coronavirus and the vaccination drive has emerged as a ray of hope for all. Celebrities from films and TV have lined up for their shot and shared their vaccination moment on social media. Not only this, they have been earnestly requesting people to follow all health measures and also get vaccinated if eligible. A look at TV celebs, who took the first jab and they thanked the healthcare workers too.

Taarak Mehta Ka Ooltah Chashmah’s Jethalal aka Dilip Joshi shared that he and his wife took the first dose of vaccination. Further requesting everyone to make sure that whosoever qualifies the age bracket of the vaccination gets it done, he wrote, “Asli mazza ‘JAB’ ke saath aata hai! My wife and I took our first dose of the Covid vaccine. If you qualify or know someone who qualifies, make sure to get vaccinated or help others along the process. Thank you to the staff. #vakkchin #vaccine #vaccinessavelives #NaToCorona #JabToBeatCorona”

Ram Kapoor and wife Gautami both got vaccinated. Ram shared a video in which he can be seen pretending to be crying like a kid, every time the nurse tries to vaccinate him. Towards the end of the video, Gautami takes a jibe at Ram and apologises to the doctor and the nurse for his behaviour. Sharing the video on his Instagram, Ram wrote, "All these frontline workers are working so hard, it felt nice to make them laugh a bit. Thank you to all the frontline workers."

Archana wrote on Instagram, “Got registered on the Covin website. Incredibly I got an appointment for the very same day. Put on the first thing I found in my wardrobe. Within a couple of hours I was back home, happily vaccinated. The entire vaccination process itself took all of 15 mins! When you look at the enormous task of vaccinating more than a billion people, our Indian frontline and healthcare workers are doing a job of unprecedented and unmatched excellence and dedication.”

Roadies fame Raghu Ram shared a pic of himself taking the vaccination and wrote, “Message for internet "experts": The earth is not flat. 5G does not transmit a virus. Bill Gates is not a James Bond villain. Evolution is real. So is the Holocaust. No, I didn't scream like a little *¥®^$ when jabbed by a needle. Surveillance through vaccinations is as impossible as it is unnecessary. The govt already tracks you through id cards, facial recognition software, your computer and your phone. Take that stupid looking tin foil hat off your head. Vaccines work. Go get yours.”

Crime Patrol fame Anup Soni got vaccinated a few days back and shared on social media about his vaccination story. He also requested people to wear mask always and stay safe.

Happu Ki Ultan Paltan fame Himani Shivpuri took the first dose of coronavirus vaccine earlier in March. The actress took to her Instagram account and shared a picture from the COVID-19 vaccine camp. Posting the picture she wrote, “Had the first dose of Covid vaccine.”

Deepshikha Nagpal, who is currently seen in Ranju Ki Betiyaan, took the first shot of vaccine this weekend. She shared a video of getting vaccinated.

Veteran actor Sachin Pilgaonkar got vaccinated along with his mother. He shared on social media, “Got the vaccination today at BKC jumbo COVID centre. Had taken my mother along. The medical staff was very helpful led by Dr Dere. Jai Hind Jai Maharashtra.”

Indian Idol 12 judge Vishal Dadlani also received the first shot of vaccination. The singer-composer said he barely feels any after-effect apart from a sore shoulder. "Got my first shot of the Covid-19 vaccine yesterday. Super arrangements at Leelavati Hospital, Bandra West. Barely any 'after-effects' today, just a slightly sore shoulder from the needle. Science WILL beat this damned virus! #GoGetVaccinated #OneForAllAllForOne #ForIndia," Dadlani wrote on Twitter.
