Dayanand Shetty on student protest

In a viral video on Twitter, CID actor Dayanand said, "Yeh jo paper leak ka mudda chal raha hai, yeh sadiyon se har school, college, university aur state exams mein hota aaya hai. Yeh is saal bhi hua, pichhle saal bhi hua aur usse pehle bhi hota raha hai. Lekin 2026 mein aisa kya alag ho gaya ki yeh itna bada mudda ban gaya, yeh meri samajh se bahar hai. I am at a loss for words. Isliye main maa-baap se kehna chahta hoon ki bachchon par zyada pressure mat daliye. Unke upar pehle hi bahut pressure hota hai ki unhe apne parents ki expectations par khara utarna hai. Bachche hain, unhe apni zindagi jeene dijiye. Ek parivaar ki tarah khushi se rahiye aur unhe wahi karne dijiye jo unhe pasand hai."
