Anupam Kher Backs Students, Warns Against Political Power Plays
The veteran actor weighs in on NEET protests with a message about keeping movements independent.
Anupam Kher is lending his voice to the ongoing NEET student protests, but with a crucial caveat. As per reports in the Indian media, the acclaimed actor has expressed support for the students’ cause while cautioning them against letting external forces take over their movement.
Kher’s message is pretty clear: students should own their fight and not allow anyone to weaponise it for political gain. Industry chatter suggests the actor is calling for the protest to remain organic and student-led, warning against what he sees as potential hijacking by outside parties with their own agendas.
It’s a nuanced take from someone who’s spent decades in the public eye. The Kashmir Files star isn’t dismissing the students’ legitimate grievances but rather encouraging them to stay vigilant about maintaining their independence and voice. Classic Kher move, really, supporting the cause while keeping things real about the politics lurking in the shadows.
