Shreyas Talpade told Lehren Retro that he cannot negate the theory. “It was only after the Covid-19 vaccination is when I started experiencing some fatigue and tiredness,” he explained, calling it unfortunate that people aren’t even sure what they have taken inside their body. “We went with the flow and trusted the companies. I never heard of such incidents before Covid-19,” the actor said, thus resonating many concerns since the news is out.
