Actor and producer Dulquer Salmaan reacted to the ongoing student protests at Jantar Mantar in New Delhi, saying it was gut-wrenching to see young people face uncertainty and expressing the hope that there would be a meaningful dialogue

Dulquer Salmaan revealed that his father, Mammootty, had a characteristically understated reaction to his National Award win. Instead of celebrating, the veteran actor simply asked, "Did you win anything?", reinforcing his belief in staying grounded despite major achievements.
