Old Video Misidentified as Naseeruddin Shah at Jantar Mantar Protest, Clarified by Son
A video circulating on social media claimed actor Naseeruddin Shah and his sons attended the July 20 protest at Delhi's Jantar Mantar. Fact-checking revealed the footage was from Mumbai's Regal Cinema, not the protest site. Vivaan Shah clarified the video was old and a misunderstanding, noting that while both he and his father wished to support the student movement, Naseeruddin Shah was unable to attend due to a work commitment in Chennai.
