Fact Check: Naseeruddin Shah Not Present at Delhi's Jantar Mantar Protest
A viral video showing actor Naseeruddin Shah with his son Vivaan sparked claims they attended the student protest at Delhi's Jantar Mantar. Fact checks by multiple sources confirmed the footage was actually filmed outside Regal Cinema in Mumbai, unrelated to the protest. While several celebrities have supported the ongoing demonstration demanding Education Minister Dharmendra Pradhan's resignation over a NEET paper leak, Shah was not present at the event. The misinformation highlights challenges in verifying social media content amid active protests.
