Aftab
Shivdasani,
who
tested
positive
for
the
Novel
Coronavirus
some
time
back
and
recovered
from
it,
shared
his
views
on
the
contested
vaccine
that
has
been
produced
for
the
virus.
Aftab
pointed
out
that
it
usually
takes
years
to
come
up
with
a
vaccine
but
the
COVID-19
vaccine
was
invented
in
a
matter
of
months.
He
also
explained
why
he
is
not
in
a
hurry
to
get
the
vaccine.
Reflecting
on
how
the
year
2020
has
been
a
roller-coaster
ride,
Aftab
told
Hindustan
Times,
"For
me,
personally,
the
year
was
eventful
as
my
wife
and
I
became
parents."
He
continued,
"And,
yes,
I
had
Covid
but
2020
taught
me
to
value
health
and
life.
Now,
that
the
vaccine
is
out,
it
is
still
early
days.
Never
in
the
history
of
mankind
has
a
vaccine
been
invented
so
soon-
in
nine
months.
Usually,
it
takes
years
to
make.
I
am
not
in
a
hurry
to
get
the
vaccine.
Moreover,
my
body
is
still
producing
anti-bodies,
so
I
am
relatively
safe."
The
actor
also
said
that
he
is
looking
forward
to
working
on
a
few
projects
in
2021.
He
reflected
on
the
lessons
that
this
year
taught
him
and
said,
"This
year
taught
us
to
value
one's
work
and
freedom
which
we
were
denied.
I
shot
in
between
the
pandemic
and
that
was
an
experience
too."
Talking
about
the
way
forward
amidst
the
pandemic,
he
said,
"There
aren't
a
lot
of
shoots
happening
as
people
are
taking
it
slow.
It
is
still
early
days.
Though
the
precautions
are
being
taken
at
shoots,
there
are
cases
of
people
testing
positive
every
few
days
and
not
just
actors
but
technicians,
sportsmen,
politicians
etc.
We
are
not
out
of
the
woods
yet.
The
pandemic
is
still
on.
Covid-19
is
dangerous
as
many
people
have
suffered
a
lot
due
to
it.
In
the
industry,
there
is
a
certain
amount
of
scepticism
but
people
also
realise
that
this
is
our
livelihood
and
we
have
to
work.
They
are
going
about
with
certain
precaution
protocols
in
place."
Talking
about
work,
Aftab
made
his
web
debut
with
the
series
Poison
2,
which
released
on
ZEE5
to
a
positive
reception.
He
will
next
be
seen
in
Tom,
Dick
And
Harry
2,
playing
the
lead
role.
