Mumbai, Feb 18: Actress Suchitra Krishnamoorthi is unhappy that COVID-19 vaccines are being exported from India even though a large population of the country is yet to be vaccinated. The actress took to Twitter on Wednesday to express her mind. "GOI we want the #COVIDVaccine ! Why is so much being sent abroad when so many #indians in #india await their turn to be vaccinated?"

"How do those without #aadhaarcard get the #COVID19Vaccination ? For eg my maid who has no proof of birth in her village or any other id proof & therefore not been able to get one," the actress wrote in a separate tweet.
