Soni Razdan wants vaccine for actors

Soni Razdan

Amid the spike in Coronavirus cases, Soni Razdan has demanded vaccination for all actors. Presently, only those above the age of 60 and those between 45 and 59 years with comorbidities are eligible for a jab. The veteran actor shared her point of view on Twitter, "So many actors are getting COVID-19, and are at huge risk when working. I mean we actually can't wear masks, but no one seems to think they need to be able to take the vaccine yet."

Replying to Suhel Seth's tweet on allowing everyone to get vaccines, Soni wrote, "So many actors get COVID and are at huge risk when working. I mean we actually can't wear masks. But no one seems to think they need to be able to take the vaccine yet. [sic]"

Her post did not go down well with a section of netizens. A detractor commented, "It's not a crucial profession to be carried out on a daily basis." Razdan hit back, "It's a profession nonetheless. People need to work, right? Others can do so wearing protection, but actors are the only people who cannot." Will the authorities pay heed to Razdan's request?
