Several outlets report that a widely shared video claiming to show actor Naseeruddin Shah attending the Citizens for Justice and Peace (CJP) protest at Delhi’s Jantar Mantar is not from Delhi. Times of India describes the viral clip as showing Naseeruddin Shah and his sons at Jantar Mantar during a student protest, with observers saying he and his sons remain silent and do not make public statements. However, Mint reports that the same or similar footage is actually filmed in Mumbai, outside Regal Cinema in Colaba. Mint says the viral video’s location is misrepresented and that Shah’s presence at Jantar Mantar remains unverified. In other words, while the clip is real and has features that match Shah, its origin is disputed, and the evidence cited publicly does not conclusively confirm that he attended the New Delhi demonstration. Based on the fact-checking accounts summarized here, the key point is that the viral claim about the Delhi venue is not supported by the reported location details.
