Salman Khan further talked about how its also about protecting your family. He said, "On one side, the government is trying its best to ensure vaccination for all. On the other side, some are indulging in spreading rumours and misinformation about the vaccine, creating doubts in people's minds," he said. He also said by getting a shot of a vaccine, "you are not only protecting yourself but also your family, society and the country."

In an earlier interview with IANS, Salman had shared words of encouragement for fans facing various crises amidst the ongoing second wave of the Covid-19 pandemic. "I would just like to say that we all need to stay positive and hold the fort until these bad times pass. This is a phase and it shall pass. I know all of us are going through very critical times, we must have faith and help each other in whatever way we can," Salman said.
