Excitement and Mixed emotions all at once.. But it is what it is.. Utmost important in this time and situation that we are going through, this is the best that we can do for us and for the people around us. Let's break the chain and go forward without any fear and get vaccinated don't think "ki pehele yea log kar le fir hum karenege" or compare our vaccinations to others..

Gurmeet recently announced he plans to open 1000-bed hospitals in Patna and Lucknow.

"Today Covid has hit, tomorrow there will be many more dreadful diseases which will require us to fight against them. We are starting from Lucknow and Patna as the main centres of this project as they are the epicentre of the nation and they connect to all the other states. Once those are formed, we will replicate the same in other states too. All the hospitals will be equipped with AI technology and will be under the guidance of specialists," he says.
