Kathmandu, 6th Shrawan: The actions taken by police against Karnataka Janata Party supporters and protesting students during Monday’s parliament march have drawn sharp criticism from many Bollywood celebrities. Veteran actor Naseeruddin Shah has shown solidarity with the students, encouraging them to remain steadfast and highlighting the considerable empathy people have for their cause. Sharing a video on his Instagram, Shah stated, ‘Though I completed two courses in acting, the most I have learned is from these children I tried to teach my craft to. I extend my full sympathy to them, I wish them well with every breath I take, and I honor them every Teacher’s Day.’ He further expressed, ‘My heart is heavy at the moment. Witnessing the atrocities committed on these children fills me with anger and pain.

Think about your children and remember that every action has consequences.’ Shah continued, ‘To all these children, I want to say – do not lose courage. Many people sympathize with you. I have always been hopeful about this nation’s youth, and that hope is now shining through.
