Bollywood superstar Salman Khan received the second dose of the coronavirus vaccine on Friday. The actor had received the first dose of the vaccine in March. Apart from him, his younger brother Sohail Khan also got his second dose today.
The duo was spotted at a centre in Dadar in Mumbai. Actor Waluscha De Sousa was also spotted along with them. Khan, whose Eid release Radhe: Your Most Wanted Bhai (2021) has been receiving rousing response from audiences, chose the auspicious day to receive the second jab.
In a recent interview, Khan had shared that his parents, veteran screenwriter Salim Khan and producer Salma Khan, got their second dose of the vaccine on May 9, while the younger brother, producer Arbaaz Khan received his first shot on Sunday.
Recently, Khan also spoke about the need for getting vaccinated to fight the coronavirus. “Getting vaccinated does not mean you are safe from Covid-19. It just builds your immunity to fight against the virus. You don’t have to fight for your life unless you have some comorbidities,” he said.
Several prominent film personalities in India, including Rajinikanth, Saif Ali Khan, Madhuri Dixit, Farhan Akhtar, Kamal Haasan, Sonu Sood, Anurag Kashyap and others have received vaccination over the past few days. They are also encouraging their fans to get vaccinated as soon as possible.
On March 1, the government of India launched a nationwide drive to vaccinate all above 60 years of age and those aged between 45 and 59 with co-morbidities. Amid a devastating second wave of Covid-19 infections, the government allowed vaccination of all persons above the age of 18 from May 1.

The singer jokingly texted Clairo saying, "Let's f**k her up," sparking an online frenzy
Why Charli XCX jokingly declared war on Peppa Pig after one viral comment
Highlights
What started as a playful celebrity game has turned into one of the internet's most unexpected viral moments, with Charli XCX jokingly threatening to "f**k up" Peppa Pig after the beloved cartoon character appeared to dismiss singer Clairo.
The exchange quickly spread across social media, drawing reactions from fans and fellow musicians, while turning an unlikely clash between a pop star and a fictional children's character into a trending talking point.
Peppa Pig's viral remark sparked the joke
The playful exchange began during Peppa Pig's appearance in Pitchfork's Over/Under game, where the animated character rated a selection of music artists.
While expressing admiration for acts including PinkPantheress and The Beatles, Peppa responded to Clairo by saying, "I don't know her," a line widely recognised as a reference to Mariah Carey's famous response when asked about Jennifer Lopez.
The remark, accompanied by a knowing glance at the camera, quickly gained traction online.
Charli XCX rushed to Clairo's defence
After seeing the clip, Charli XCX privately messaged Clairo, writing, "Let's f**k her up," alongside a screenshot of the viral post.
Clairo later shared the exchange on social media, prompting thousands of reactions from fans, many of whom responded with pig and bacon-themed jokes.
PinkPantheress, whom Peppa had praised in the original video, also joined the conversation, posting a message supporting Clairo.
As the exchange continued, Clairo responded to the growing attention with humour, replying to posts before eventually telling followers, "ok that's enoughhhhh lolllllllllll."
Some fans joked that the viral moment was the perfect opportunity for the singer to announce new music, though Clairo replied that she did not have anything ready to share.
Her most recent album, Charm, was released in 2024, with its accompanying tour concluding in 2025.
Charli XCX keeps her focus on new music
While the online joke continued to gather momentum, Charli XCX did not publicly add to the exchange.
Instead, the singer has been focusing on promoting her upcoming album, Music, Fashion, Film, which is scheduled for release on July 24.
Although fans speculated that one of the track titles could be a playful nod to the viral exchange, there has been no indication that the album references the light-hearted social media moment.
