Superstar Salman Khan has voiced his support for students protesting the alleged NEET paper leak, advocating for educational reforms while condemning the recent breakout of violence. Sharing his thoughts on X (formerly Twitter), the actor expressed deep sadness over the peaceful movement taking a violent turn, offering his sympathies to the students and families affected during the demonstrations.
Highlighting the gravity of the issue, Khan praised the younger generation for uniting peacefully to demand a stronger, fairer educational system. He commended their bravery, dedication, and drive, noting that a generation so determined to learn and succeed will ultimately make the country proud. According to the actor, raising their voices through constructive and peaceful means is the right way forward for a brighter, highly educated India.
Crucially, Khan emphasized that the movement must remain focused strictly on student welfare rather than political agendas. He cautioned against allowing the cause to be politically hijacked, stressing that any credit for positive change should belong entirely to the students. Expressing confidence in the administration, Khan added that he hopes and prays the government will fully support the youth, turning the crisis into a win-win scenario that ultimately fortifies the national education system.
It was such a peaceful movement, feel so sad that it had to take a violent turn. My heart goes out to the students and their families who were hurt. Paper leak is a very serious issue, and I am glad to know n see that the kids of our country have come together for a better…

Concluding his statement, Khan envisioned a future where education becomes a national priority and a defining cultural trend. He expressed hope that India’s academic framework becomes so fashionable and robust that the nation eventually emerges as a global educational hub attracting students from around the world. Khan’s comments arrive amid the high-profile “Chalo Sansad” march led by the Cockroach Janta Party (CJP), joining a growing wave of film industry figures including Shabana Azmi, Prakash Raj, Diljit Dosanjh, and Sonu Sood who have publicly called for accountability and systemic reforms.
