Say V for vaccine! Bollywood celebs who received the first dose of the COVID-19 vaccine

Several senior B-Town folk, including Gulzar, Johnny Lever and Zeenat Aman, have taken the shot.

On Wednesday, Anupam Kher was administered the first dose of the COVID-19 vaccine. He shared a video on social media and thanked frontline healthcare workers and the scientists. "Got my #COVID-19 first dose vaccination! Thank you all the doctors, medical staff, scientist and the Government of India for making it possible. India Rocks. Jai Ho," Kher tweeted, tagging the Prime Minister's Office (PMO) and Union Health Minister Harsh Vardhan.

The actor, known for films like "Karma", "Khosla Ka Ghosla", "A Wednesday!" and "Special 26", did not disclose the name of the vaccine. Last year, Kher's mother, Dulari, along with actor-brother Raju and his family had tested positive for COVID-19.

On March 1, the government launched the nationwide drive of getting everyone above 60 years of age -- and those aged between 45-59 with co-morbidities -- get vaccinated.

Earlier, Paresh Rawal and Raj Babbar also took the jab. Several senior B-Town folk, including Gulzar, Johnny Lever and Zeenat Aman, have taken the shot. A look at celebrities' posts:
