Veteran
actor
Neena
Gupta
on
Wednesday
(March
10)
became
the
latest
Indian
celebrity
to
take
the
COVID-19
vaccine.
Coincidently
her
Badhaai
Ho
co-star
Gajraj
Rao
also
revealed
on
the
same
day
that
he
took
the
COVID-19
jab.
Neena
Gupta
shared
a
video
of
her
taking
the
vaccination
at
Hinduja
Hospital
in
Mumbai
on
Instagram.
In
the
video,
the
needle
shy
actress
can
be
heard
screaming
"Mummy",
while
taking
the
dose.
She
then
says,
"Lag
rahi
hai
vaccine
but
dar
lag
raha
hai
par
lagvane
ayi
hun
(I
am
very
scared
but
have
to
get
the
dose)."
The
61-year-old
star
captioned
the
post
as
"Lag
gaya
ji
teeka.
Thank
you
@hindujahospital".
At
the
end
of
the
clip,
Neena
removed
her
mask
and
said,
"It's
done."
On
the
other
hand,
Gajraj
Rao
penned
a
long
note
revealing
that
he
faced
some
anxiety
before
receiving
the
COVID-19
vaccine.
However,
it
was
his
diabetic
condition
that
compelled
him
to
take
the
shot.
The
actor
wrote,
"In
the
three
hours
queuing
up
for
my
dose,
I
was
still
contemplating
whether
I
should
take
it
or
not.
Much
overthinking
later,
when
the
syringe
finally
went
in,
it
painlessly
relieved
me
of
my
anxiety
in
a
matter
of
seconds."
