A hilarious parody advertisement for the vaccine maker Pfizer shared on the American late-night show Jimmy Kimmel Live! has gone viral, grabbing the attention of eminent personalities like Anand Mahindra.

In this advertisement, a man is seen proposing to his girlfriend with a dose of the vaccine instead of a ring. "Inoculate yourself... with love," the ad suggests before concluding with a shot of the Pfizer vaccine which is "not available anywhere".

"Don't just be her somebody, be her antibody", the ad says!

Now businessman Anand Mahindra, who is known for his tweets, shared this video tagging Serum Institutes's Adar Poonawalla. In the tweet, Anand says, 'a readymade advertising brief', a funny tease aimed at Poonawalla.
