“It was a very kind gesture for them to have organised something like this. We least expected it. Even though we celebrate Aaji's birthday as per the Hindu calendar, which falls on Holi, still, for them to have noticed the date and brought a cake to have her cut it was very nice. Aaji was very touched", shared Khedkar's family members.

As the centre started the second phase of vaccination across the country, several senior citizens have been waiting to get the jab and over 1.94 crore people have already been vaccinated, informed officials.
