It is a nice way of honouring the doctors, paramedics and health staff workers, who are leading this battle of Coronavirus from the forefront in all over the world. Last year, Khan made a variety and named it after Amit Shah, home minister of India. He has also made mangoes after other eminent personalities such as Akhilesh Yadav, Sachin Tendulkar, Sonia Gandhi and Aishwarya Rai. As of now, we do not know by when will we get Doctor Mangoes, but is indeed one sweet way of honouring all health workers, literally.
