Harsha Bhogle urges fans to get India COVID-19 vaccine

Harsha Bhogle took to Twitter and urged his fans and followers to get their COVID-19 vaccines as issued by the Government of India. While fans got the gist of the commentator’s goodwill, several of them took to the microblogging site and left hilarious responses in the comments section. Some of the fans mocked Harsha Bhogle by letting him know that they are now aware of his age, considering the vaccines is available only for citizens above 60 and between 45 and 59 under certain conditions.

Meanwhile, other fans drew Harsha Bhogle’s cricketing analogies with him getting vaccinated for the contagious disease. Here is a look at Bhogle’s tweet along with some of the fans hilariously reacting to it.
