Farhan Akhtar is not in the mood for personal jabs at such critical times. The actor-film-maker slammed the Twitter troll for overtly criticizing him after he announced getting the first dose of vaccine against Covid-19 from a drive-in vaccination facility.

The facility was initially built for the senior and physically challenged citizens. Netizens criticized Farhan for making use of it when it was not meant for everyone. One Twitter user even called him a “VIP Brat.”

“Another VIP brat @FarOutAkhtar gets out of turn vaccination at the drive-in reserved for 60+years senior citizens.,” the Twitter user wrote in reply to Farhan’s tweet. “Either he is 60+, physically challenged that we do not know off, or used his status for vaccination."

The Zindagi Na Milegi Dobara actor quickly responded to the tweet saying, "The drive in is for 45 + .. now do something constructive for society with your time like losing your phone.”

Earlier on May 8, the 47-year-old actor shared the news about his vaccination and tweeted:

“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.”

On the professional front, Farhan Akhtar is waiting for his film Toofan, directed by Rakeysh Omprakash Mehra to get released.
