Mukesh Khanna on the coronavirus vaccine

Khanna was amongst the celebrities who took the jabs back in March. In a video clip that was shared by actor Arun Govil, Mukesh Khanna said, "I want to state that sometimes you should also learn to praise. My country has progressed. When the vaccine has arrived, you should take it."

"I had even shared a photo of Shaktiman with a mask, so if Shaktiman also needs a mask, so how much we all are in need of it? One should wear a mask and practice social distance. Corona has come and it will go, so I wish a COVID-" he added.
