Actor Shahid Kapoor publicly supports student-led protests and raises questions about what happens when young people lose faith in education. In his remarks, Kapoor links the protests to students’ frustration with the current examination system and says students who spend years preparing for exams should be able to ask questions about their future. The support aligns with a broader campaign led by the CJP against alleged irregularities, including claims connected to the NEET 2026 paper leak. Multiple sources report that Kapoor’s position is part of a wider group of celebrities who have expressed solidarity with the movement, alongside figures such as Kareena Kapoor Khan and Alia Bhatt. The protests also call for reforms related to the examination process and demand accountability from officials, including a demand for Pradhan’s resignation. The outlets frame Kapoor’s intervention as encouraging public scrutiny of education and examination policies, while the underlying student campaign centers on allegations of paper leaks and exam irregularities tied to NEET 2026.
