After several Bollywood stars, including Salman Khan, Alia Bhatt, and Kareena Kapoor Khan, voiced their support for the Cockroach Janata Party (CJP)-led protest at Jantar Mantar, many fans were waiting to see if Shah Rukh Khan would also react.

Did SRK Support Jantar Mantar Protest?

Before addressing whether Shah Rukh Khan actually posted about the protest, here’s what the viral screenshot claims.

The screenshot, falsely attributed to the actor, reads, “To all the dear students, Tum logon ne dikhaya hai ke asli taakat kahan hai... books mein, pen mein, aur awaaz mein. Tumhara protest sirf ek exam ke against nahi, balki ek behtar, transparent, aur fair system ke liye hai... Main tum sabke saath hoon, emotionally and morally...!!”

However, a check of Shah Rukh Khan’s official social media accounts found no such post. The post does not appear on either his Instagram or X (formerly Twitter) profile, confirming that the viral screenshot is fake.

A fan account using Shah Rukh Khan’s name has been sharing content related to the protest, which appears to have added to the confusion. As of now, the actor, who will next be seen in King, has not made any public statement on the ongoing protest in Delhi.

How Did Social Media Users React?

“Which account is this?” asked one social media user. 

Another said, “For a second I really thought SRK had tweeted it.”

“Fake,” read several comments under the viral screenshot.

The protest at Delhi’s Jantar Mantar intensified after thousands of students and CJP supporters joined the ‘Chalo Sansad’ march on July 20 to demand the resignation of Education Minister Dharmendra Pradhan over the alleged NEET-UG paper leak and other irregularities in the education system in the country.
