Agarwal made constant efforts to educate the masses about the disease through numerous clips and online educational programmes. In one of the famous clips, the deceased concluded by saying ‘The show must go on!’
Former Indian Medical Association chief got viral earlier in January. His hilarious banter with his wife during a live session was seen millions of times in which Aggarwal’s wife was heard scolding him for going to take the anti-COVID vaccine shot alone and not taking her along.
