A parody advertisement made by US talk show Jimmy Kimmel Live encouraging vaccination against Covid-19 tickled ribs across the internet, making even Indian business magnate Anand Mahindra laugh.
The parody advertisement, based on upcoming Valentine’s Day, was for vaccine maker Pfizer and aimed at creating awareness about the inoculation drive in the US. Mahindra shared the video on his Twitter.
The video features a couple in their home when the man opens a ring box to propose to his partner. But in the box is a vial of Covid-19 vaccine. The video goes on to say, “Inoculate yourself with Covid-19 vaccine”.
Mahindra tagged Serum Institute of India CEO Adar Poonawalla in the “hilarious” video, urging him to consider a similar advertisement for India’s Covishield vaccine.
The businessman’s tweet invited many reactions on Twitter.
