Actor Salman Khan supports students protesting over alleged irregularities and paper leaks in the NEET examination, while an older clip from The Kapil Sharma Show featuring him and his father, screenwriter Salim Khan, goes viral again. The renewed controversy follows Salman’s social media post in which he shares a childhood photograph of himself in school uniform and calls the paper leak “a very serious issue.” He says he is “glad” students have come together for a better education system and credits their parents’ support as well. Salman also describes the movement as having turned violent, expressing condolences for students and families affected.
In the viral older segment, Salim Khan recalls discovering that Salman used leaked school examination papers and says a man named Ganesh helped the family obtain those papers. The anecdote is told as a personal story from their school days and prompts divided reactions online, with some users arguing it involved school exams rather than an entrance test like NEET, while others criticize the actor over alleged hypocrisy.
Separately, Salman urges that the NEET issue remains focused on students and the education system rather than being hijacked politically, and he expresses hope the government will strengthen the education system. Protests continue across multiple cities, with students demanding accountability and action by the Union Education Minister.
