Netizen Calls Farhan Akhtar A 'VIP Brat' For Getting Vaccinated At Drive In Facility For Senior Citizens; Actor Responds

Farhan Akhtar who recently got jabbed with the first dose of the Covid-19 vaccine soon became a target of trolls on social media. Farhan shared he got vaccinated at a drive through facility in Mumbai and was called a ‘VIP brat’ by user on Twitter for doing so.

The filmmaker and actor who got the vaccine dose on 8 May tweeted about the same and wrote, “Got my first jab today via drive through at Andheri sports complex. Thank you to @mybmc & @MumbaiPolice for the streamlined system. To those waiting their turn, the process does take 2-3 hours (for now) so please be patient. Carry water & a snack, if need be. Stay safe."

The 47 year old was later seen replying to tweet where a user called him out for using the drive through facility which is reserved for senior citizens. The user had written, “Another VIP brat @FarOutAkhtar gets out of turn vaccination at the drive in reserved for 60+years senior citizens...Either he is 60+, physically challenged that we do not know off, or used his status for vaccination.”

Farhan had a sharp response for the user in which he clarified that the facility is for people aged above 45.  “The drive in is for 45 +  .. now do something constructive for society with your time like losing your phone,” he responded.

Another user asked Fahan to share proof of his reservation at the drive in to show it was not his influence that got him access. The Toofan star did oblige and shared his appointment details from the CoWin App.
