The Cockroach Janata Party’s protest against the alleged NEET paper leaks has received support from several prominent voices in the Indian film industry. Actors including Salman Khan, Shabana Azmi, Sonu Sood, Dia Mirza, Prakash Raj, Swara Bhasker, Diljit Dosanjh, Riteish Deshmukh and Genelia Deshmukh have either visited the protest site or publicly expressed solidarity with the students. While some called for peaceful dialogue and accountability, others urged authorities to listen to students’ concerns with empathy and uphold their democratic right to protest. As the agitation at Delhi’s Jantar Mantar continues, celebrity support has added further attention to the movement demanding action over the alleged NEET paper leaks.
