Shah was later advised home quarantine. The actor later thanked the medical authorities for their care and attention, and also appealed to people to get themselves admitted to a hospital as soon as they test positive for COVID-19 to avoid any complications.

Get ready (sic),” tweeted the 66-year-old acting legend, while sharing the picture of him receiving the jab.
