World ( The cow news digital ) Reports claiming that Bollywood superstar Shah Rukh Khan issued a public statement supporting ongoing student protests in India have been debunked following a thorough fact-check, revealing the viral screenshot to be fabricated.
The widely circulated image displayed a message in Hindi purportedly posted by the actor, expressing solidarity with student demonstrators and advocating for reform and transparency in the national examination system. The screenshot gained rapid traction across multiple social media platforms, leading many users to believe it was an official endorsement from the actor.
However, a review of Shah Rukh Khan’s verified accounts on X (formerly Twitter) and Instagram confirmed that no such post or statement was ever published. Investigations indicate that the misunderstanding originated from an unverified fan or impersonator account operating under the actor’s name, which users mistakenly reshared as authentic.
The fake claim surfaced amid ongoing demonstrations at New Delhi’s Jantar Mantar, where students have gathered to demand accountability and transparency following recent paper leak controversies. While several high-profile public figures have weighed in on the issue, generating widespread speculation regarding Khan’s stance, there is no official evidence that the actor has made any public statements regarding the protests.
In contrast, several other prominent Bollywood personalities have openly voiced their support for the student community. Celebrities including Sonakshi Sinha, Shabana Azmi, Prakash Raj, and Ranjini Haridas have publicly backed the demonstrators. Additionally, actor Salman Khan expressed sympathy for the affected students, describing the movement as peaceful while expressing regret over subsequent escalations and urging that educational issues remain free from political influence.
