Sanjay Dutt, a Bollywood celebrity, got the first dose of the coronavirus vaccine on Tuesday. The 61-year-old actor shared a photo of himself receiving the vaccine at Mumbai’s BKC vaccine center on Twitter.
“I got my first COVID-19 vaccine shot today at the BKC vaccine center. I’d like to congratulate Dr. Dhere and his whole staff on a job well done! I have a great deal of admiration and appreciation for them and their efforts. Salute to India!” Dutt sent out a tweet.
On October 21, he wrote in an Instagram post: “My family has had a particularly trying few weeks. But, as the saying goes, God sends his bravest warriors into the most difficult battles. And today, on the occasion of my children’s birthdays, I am glad to have won the war to be able to give them the greatest present I can: our family’s health and well-being.” He was being treated at the Kokilaben Hospital in Mumbai.
The actor was diagnosed with cancer in August of last year, and he took a break from work to concentrate on his recovery.
Dutt revealed in October 2020 that he will be “out of this disease soon.” A month later, the actor returned to the set of his upcoming Kannada debut, KGF: Chapter 2.
Sharmila Tagore, Dharmendra, Hema Malini, Mohanlal, Paresh Rawal, Jeetendra, Kamal Haasan, Nagarjuna, Anupam Kher, Satish Shah, Neena Gupta, Rakesh Roshan, and Johnny Lever are among the other Indian film stars who have recently been vaccinated.
