Several Bollywood celebrities, including Sonakshi Sinha , Shabana Azmi and Prakash Raj, had extended their support to students protesting at Jantar Mantar over the alleged NEET paper leak, with protesters demanding the resignation of then Education Minister Dharmendra Pradhan. Now, actor Suresh Oberoi has questioned celebrities who publicly backed the protests.
The film was released worldwide in January. Suresh was last seen in the film Aazad Bharath. Helmed by Roopa Iyer, the film also featured Shreyas Talpade, Roopa Iyer and Indira Tiwari. The actor is yet to announce his upcoming project.
If I don’t know about something, I won’t speak about it. The world listens to you and follows what you say. Before speaking, you should research, see and understand who is behind it, who all are involved. Are they all NEET students, or are there politicians, people throwing stones or people creating a ruckus? Until you know, how can you become so vocal? I’ll say, ‘I don’t know about it.’” He further questioned the funding of CJP and argued that there are established ways of making demands. My job is acting, so I will act. What is the point of becoming an activist? There is a way to demand anything. What kind of way is this? I don’t like it. Overnight, you want to become a star, so you throw stones and become one. It is absolutely ridiculous that you are hitting the police. You should not do that.”
In a podcast with Nidhi Vasandani, Suresh reacted to celebrities supporting the CJP-led protest at Jantar Mantar and said, “We are responsible people. He also said he did not approve of violent methods. He said, “I will never go for any protest.
