The star — perhaps the biggest celebrity to comment on the issue — said he was glad that the students had come together to demand a better educational system, adding that the government should listen to their demands. Taking to social media late on Wednesday, Salman wrote, “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 educational system, and their parents supported them.” He said that the stand taken by the students shows their “dedication, sincerity, and keenness to study hard and make their future and a greater, educated India. This andolan, this protest, is the right way to go about it, and the students have done this peacefully. So courageous and brave. Driven and motivated towards education, this generation will make India proud.” He also cautioned that the protest should not be hijacked. “This issue is between the students and the educational system, it should not be hijacked politically, the credit should only go to the students of our country, and I am sure the government will also give them all the support n make it a stronger educational system. It’s a win-win situation. Hoping n praying for a positive decision. God bless all of you who wanna be educated. Education should be the next trend and fashion, and should get trendier n more fashionable yr by yr, itna k bahar se log come to India to study and India becomes an educational hub.” Over the last week, actors such as Hrithik Roshan, Diljit Dosanjh, Naseeruddin Shah, Sonakshi Sinha, Ratna Pathak Shah, Shabana Azmi, Prakash Raj, Tovino Thomas and Atul Kulkarni, among many others, have condemned the police action against demonstrators and supported the CJP protests. The protests at Jantar Mantar began earlier this month. Students demanded accountability over alleged irregularities in competitive examinations, including the NEET paper leak, sweeping reforms in the education system and the resignation of Union Education Minister Dharmendra Pradhan. Activist Sonam Wangchuk later joined the agitation, launching a hunger strike before being removed from the protest site. Tensions escalated during Monday’s ‘Chalo Sansad’ march when police used force to disperse protesters.
According to Aayush Sharma, whenever Salman Khan invites someone to his Panvel farmhouse, the family has a standard response.Actor Aayush Sharma recently gave fans a glimpse into Salman Khan’s life off-screen, sharing one of the funniest inside jokes about the superstar. When asked if the Khan family has any recurring jokes about Salman, Aayush admitted there are plenty, but chose to reveal the “safest” one. According to Aayush, whenever Salman invites someone to his Panvel farmhouse, the family has a standard response. During an interview with Lallantop Cinema, recalling the joke, Aayush shared, “Bhai ne farm pe bulaya hai… toh sabka ek takiya kalaam hai, ‘Chalo farm chalte hain.’ Lekin wahan sirf wahi jaata hai jisko bulawa aata hai (Whenever Bhai invites someone to the farmhouse, everyone says, ‘Let’s go to the farm.’ But only those who receive an invitation get to go).” He then laughed and explained that the real joke begins once someone receives the invitation. Aayush revealed that Salman spends most of his time at the farmhouse, adding with a laugh that people know they’ll return only when Salman decides it’s time. “Wahan Bhai zyada time rehte hain. Toh jab farm pe bulate hain… apni marzi se jaoge, lekin wapas tab aaoge jab woh bolenge (Bhai spends most of his time at the farmhouse because Salim saab isn’t there. You can go there on your own, but you’ll come back only when Bhai says you can),” he shared.

The actor bluntly told Aayush, “You’re in a bad state. You look like sh*t, you’re not trained enough. Just going to acting school won’t help. You need to work on multiple things.” Salman also jokingly turned to his sister Arpita and quipped, “Kahan se leke aayi hai tu isko?” Aayush said it was Salman’s honesty, belief in his potential, and willingness to guide him that motivated him to pursue acting seriously.Story continues below this ad Aayush Sharma made his acting debut with Loveyatri in 2018, a romantic drama backed by Salman Khan Films.
