Actor Vivaan Shah has addressed the viral video featuring his father, veteran actor Naseeruddin Shah, which led to discussions about his supposed attendance at the CJP protest. Vivaan explained that the video was old and there was a misunderstanding. He mentioned that both he and his father intended to support the students’ movement at the protest, but Naseeruddin had to travel to Chennai for a shoot.
Vivaan emphasized that despite their desire to participate, they were unable to make it to the protest. He expressed their solidarity and support for the students, stating that they always stand with them and aim to provide them with strength and love. The video circulating on social media, allegedly showing Naseeruddin Shah at a protest in New Delhi, was found to be edited selectively, with the original footage revealing his absence from the Jantar Mantar protest.
Naseeruddin Shah, in a video shared on his Instagram, expressed solidarity with the student protesters. He highlighted the importance of education and criticized ignorance in leadership, affirming his support for the students. Shah acknowledged the influence students have had on his acting career and extended his blessings to them, praising their dedication and spirit on Teachers’ Day.
