Megastar Amitabh Bachchan on Friday said he has received the first dose of the coronavirus vaccine.
Taking to official blog, the 78-year-old actor revealed that every member of his family, except son Abhishek Bachchan, have received the first dose of coronavirus vaccine.
"Vaccination done... All well... Did Covid test for family and staff yesterday... results came today... All good, all negative... So done the vaccine," Amitabh Bachchan wrote. "All family done except Abhishek .. he be on location and shall do it on return soon in a few days." The veteran actor also posted a picture of him receiving the vaccine at a vaccine centre.
Abhishek Bachchan has been filming for his upcoming social comedy "Dasvi" in Agra. The actor completed the shooting on Thursday.
Calling the vaccination process "historic", Amitabh Bachchan said he will later pen a longer blog post about it.
