What was the video about?
The video begins with Dr Aggarwal picking up his wife’s call and explaining to her that he just got a coronavirus vaccine. However, he didn’t know what was in store for him! His wife loses her cool and starts yelling at him for not taking her along. He further tries to pacify her by saying that he will take her for vaccination on Monday morning, but she refuses to listen.
She says: Bohot hi ajeeb ho tum. Why didn’t you take me with you? This is not done. Don’t lie to me.
After getting an earful, the doctor says, “I’m’ live on camera right now,” while trying to end their conversation. To this she responds by saying, “Main abhi live aa ke tumhari aisi ki taisi karti hun”.
Doctor KK Agarwal got himself vaccinated without his wife.
Note to self : don't ever pick-up phone while you are live on tv 🙂
