On Friday, Dharmendra took the first dose of the COVID-19 vaccine. Earlier in the day, the actor, 85, took to social media to remind people to wear masks and maintain social distancing after the new high in COVID-19 cases. “Mask laga kar baith... lockdown ko lock karna hai ..... toh do gaz ki doori aur mask zaroori,” he wrote. Later, Dharmendra added, “Tweet karte karte josh aa gaya aur main nikal gaya vaccination lene.It’s definitely not to show off, but to inspire you all... Friends, please take care,” the veteran actor said in a video, which was taken while he got a shot on his left arm.





He was referring to his tweet earlier in the day that he had posted to remind everyone to wear masks and maintain social distancing after Maharashtra registered a new high in Covid-19 cases the day before. Dharmendra shared a throwback black-and-white photograph, where he can be seen sitting with sliced watermelons and a knife.

"Mask laga kar baith..... tere tarboz koi nahin kharede ga.......lock down ko lock karna hai ..... to do gaz ki doori aur mask zarori, (wear a mask and sit, nobody is going to buy your watermelons, we have to lock the lockdown, maintain social distance and wear a mask)," Dharmendra captioned his photo.
