An old video clip featuring Bollywood actor Salman Khan discussing leaked exam papers resurfaced on social media platforms. The clip re-emerged shortly after the actor shared an official statement voicing support for students protesting against alleged paper leaks and the subsequent police crackdown in New Delhi.
The resurfaced footage originates from a previous appearance on The Kapil Sharma Show, where Salman Khan appeared alongside his father, veteran screenwriter Salim Khan, and brothers Arbaaz and Sohail Khan. During the episode, Salim Khan shared a lighthearted anecdote recalling how a man named Ganesh received exceptional hospitality at their home. He jokingly revealed that the family treated Ganesh with great respect because he delivered leaked exam papers to the brothers during their school years. As the show's audience laughed, Salman Khan added with a smile that the story specifically applied to him.
The throwback video began circulating in comment sections shortly after Salman Khan released a social media statement addressing ongoing student demonstrations. In his post, the actor described paper leaks as a serious issue affecting the country's educational framework and applauded young protesters for uniting to demand systemic improvements.
He expressed sadness over reports of violence during recent demonstrations, offering sympathies to injured students and their families. Khan commended the courage shown by the youth while emphasizing that the issue should remain centered on student welfare rather than being politically hijacked. He added that strengthening the educational system would benefit the nation long term.
Conversely, numerous fans came forward to defend the actor, emphasizing that the television conversation was a humorous recollection of school life rather than an endorsement of irregularities in high-stakes national competitive examinations. Supporters noted that casual anecdotes from decades prior should not undermine a constructive public call for educational integrity.
The student movement continues to draw nationwide attention as public figures urge peaceful dialogue and constructive policy measures to preserve trust in national examination systems.
