'Mirzya' actor and Anil's son Harshvardhan quipped and stated, "How ? For below 45 years of age you can only get shot post the first of may," (added laughing emoticons).

Kapoor too joined in the fun and wrote, "If they hadn't seen my date of birth on my Aadhar card, they probably would have asked me to come back after the 1st of May," and added two winking eyes with the tongue out emoticons.

Kapoor is one of the several celebrities who have taken the vaccination. Earlier stars like Neena Gupta, Anupam Kher, Hema Malini, Johnny Lever, Saif Ali Khan, Kamal Haasan and Satish Shah had also received the vaccination shots.

Earlier, Amitabh Bachchan, Abhishek Bachchan, Arjun Kapoor, Malaika Arora, and some others were also infected with the virus.

In March 2020, Bollywood singer Kanika Kapoor, who rose to fame with her song 'Baby Doll', became the first Bollywood celebrity to get infected with COVID-19.
