Salman Khan Supports NEET Protests, Old Leak Admission Resurfaces

Bollywood star Salman Khan has publicly supported students protesting the alleged NEET exam paper leak and the crackdown on demonstrations. He emphasized the seriousness of paper leaks and praised students for advocating for a stronger educational system. Khan's stance came to light after an old video clip from 'The Kapil Sharma Show' resurfaced. In the clip, his father, Salim Khan, humorously recounted how a person named Ganesh would bring Salman leaked exam papers. Salman himself confirmed it was his paper. This resurfaced video led to a debate online, with many fans defending Khan. They argued that the leaked papers mentioned were from his school days and not from competitive national examinations like NEET. This distinction was highlighted as crucial, differentiating his past experience from the current student protests. Numerous figures from the film industry, including Naseeruddin Shah and Anurag Kashyap, have backed the student protests. Salman Khan is noted as the first of Bollywood's prominent Khans to comment on the issue, following a police crackdown on protestors in the capital.
