Bhaag Milkha Bhaag actor Farhan Akhtar has been constantly doing his bit by donating to the Covid-19 warriors. Not only that, the actor, through the NGOs has also made sure to reach out with help as much as he can, by providing necessary facilities and kits to the much-needed corona-struck patients. On May 8, Farhan Akhtar, the 47-year-old actor, shared that he has taken a step forward to beat the deadly virus by getting vaccinated. Farhan, once again, was trolled mercilessly by the social media followers for getting vaccinated 'early.' Not only that, the troller stated him as a 'VIP Brat,' who used his 'status' to get vaccinated early.
Keeping up with the current situation, Farhan did not stay mum but replied with dignity. He also mentioned that the drive he selected to get vaccinated was the one for 45+ candidates. Here's what the tweet read:
