Bollywood rallies behind CJP student protesters after Delhi violence; Bhumi Pednekar, Sonakshi Sinha, Diljit Dosanjh and more react

Following the violence that broke out during the Cockroach Janata Party (CJP)-led 'Chalo Sansad' march near Parliament in Delhi on July 20, an increasing number of Bollywood celebrities have voiced their support for the students protesting over the alleged NEET-UG paper leak. While a few personalities had joined the demonstrations at Jantar Mantar before the march, many others turned to social media after the clashes, urging compassion, accountability, and a peaceful resolution to the ongoing issue.

Actors Bhumi Pednekar, Diljit Dosanjh, Huma Qureshi, Saqib Saleem, Riteish Deshmukh, Genelia D'Souza, Rohit Saraf, Sonam Bajwa, Sonakshi Sinha, Dia Mirza, and musician Vishal Dadlani are among the prominent names who have extended their support to the protesting youth. They have described the visuals from the protest as "deeply saddening" and raised concerns over the treatment of the demonstrators. Several others also expressed unease over the reported police action while reiterating that peaceful protest is a fundamental democratic right. Their voices join those of veteran actors Shabana Azmi and Prakash Raj, who have also publicly joined the students to back them and have called for justice in the wake of the incident.
