Bollywood star Salman Khan commented on the leakage of examination materials, calling the issue extremely serious. He expressed satisfaction that students united to improve the education system, and their parents supported them.
Posting a message on his Instagram account, Salman Khan praised the students for holding a peaceful protest but expressed concern over reports of violence. He wrote: 'It was such a peaceful movement, I am so sad that it had to take a violent turn. My heart goes out to those students and their families who were affected. The material leak is a very serious problem, and I am glad to know and see that the children of our country have united for a better education system, and their parents have supported them.'
Salman added that he highly values the stance of students who demonstrate dedication, sincerity, and a desire to study hard to build their future and create a more educated India. He noted that this protest is a correct way to address the issue and emphasized that the students acted peacefully. He called this generation ambitious and motivated towards education, which will make India proud.
The actor insisted that this movement should not take on a political character. He stated that only the students themselves should receive recognition for their efforts and expressed confidence that the government would support them and help create a stronger education system. He called it a mutually beneficial situation and offered prayers for a positive resolution. Salman also opined that India should become a global educational center, and education should become the next trend attracting international students.
The actor's statements came amid protests related to NEET material leaks. Activist Sonam Wangchuk demanded from the Central Assurance Body no 'punitive or retaliatory legal action' against protesters who joined the 'Sansad Chalo' campaign of the Cockroach Janata Party, as a condition for ending his indefinite fast.
Regarding the ongoing NEET exam leak controversy across the country, Bollywood actor Salman Khan has repeatedly voiced his opinion. After previously praising the peaceful student protests, he now posted a new message urging students to return home. Furthermore, he appealed to public figure Sonam Wangchuk to end her hunger strike.
In his latest message, Salman Khan emphasized that students are the nation's highest priority, whether it is education or safety. He stated that students should no longer worry and should not trouble their parents. Referencing a recent statement by the Prime Minister, he expressed confidence that strict measures would be taken against those responsible for the exam leak. He appealed to the students to return to their homes and parents, noting that 'the respected Prime Minister also tweeted, and I am fully confident that strict measures will definitely be taken against those who leaked the exams.'
In his post, Salman also addressed a special message to Sonam Wangchuk. He wrote: 'Sonam, enough, brother. Don't continue this. If you need to fight in the future, do it then, but eat something now. If you want, I can send food from my house.' This approach by Salman quickly went viral on social media.
Nevertheless, Salman's request was perceived more as support for the government than for the students. There were opinions that his stance had changed in just one day, as he was now advocating for an end to the protests.
Previously, Salman Khan called the student demonstrations 'brave, peaceful, and necessary for the country's better future.' He noted that the exam leak is a very serious matter and was pleased that the country's students united to demand improvements in the education system. He also highly praised the parents of the students who supported them during these protests. In his view, this movement belongs exclusively to the students and should not take on a political color. He believed that only the students should receive recognition for this struggle, and the government would also take necessary steps to strengthen the educational system. In an older post, Salman also wrote that India should become a country where education is the main trend, and where students from all over the world would come.
