Bollywood actor Imran Khan has took to the streets of Mumbai to participate in support with the CJP-led student protest in Delhi. When asked about actors who refuse to support such movements, Khan said, "If you can’t stand by your opinions, your art has no value."
Imran Khan said, "True art is going to have an individual artist point of you embedded within it, and as part of our human nature, we are going to have opinion and perspective that we hold through to ourselves . If you can’t stand by your opinions and if you do not pour your own heart into your art, your art has no value."

On Wednesday, Imran Khan lent his support for the students' protest via a social media post. He wrote, "Something broke in me today. Watching as police gassed and battered student protestors… how could I make sense of this?"
"These students who worked hard, only to be failed by the system. These people who asked to be heard, only to be met with silence. These citizens who stood up to show what matters to them… beaten down and disowned by the establishment," he further added.

The Mere Brother Ki Dulhan actor went on to state, "Are these not the children of Mother India? If not them, for whom do we build and whose future do we claim to protect?"
"Those who demand ‘organisation’ from students protesting education reform, but don’t apply such lofty standards of accountability to established authority; bootlickers, one and all," he noted.
The CJP-led protest over the alleged NEET paper leak and exam irregularities continues at Jantar Mantar despite the recent 'Chalo Sansad' march. Following clashes with Delhi Police, security remains heightened in the national capital, while protesters have vowed to continue their agitation until their demands are addressed.
