<p>After several celebrities weighed in on the ongoing NEET-UG 2026 paper leak controversy, actor and former Miss World Manushi Chhillar has extended her support to protesting students. Travelling back to her time, Chhillar recalled her own experience of having to appear for the medical entrance exam twice after a paper leak disrupted the process and spoke up about the bravery of the students fighting for the right to education.&nbsp;</p><h2>Manushi Chhillar recalls giving NEET exam twice&nbsp;</h2><p>Speaking to <i>Hindustan Times,</i> Manushi Chhillar shared her experience of giving the exam twice amid outrage over the NEET-UG 2026 paper leak. Chhillar said, “I remember the uncertainty more than anything else. You prepare for years believing that the exam day is the finish line, and then suddenly you’re told that it isn’t. It’s not just about writing another paper. It’s about reliving months of anxiety, postponing plans, and staying mentally prepared all over again.”</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p><strong>Also Read: </strong><a href="https://www.wionews.com/entertainment/manushi-chhillars-journey-from-a-medical-student-to-akshay-kumars-leading-lady-in-samrat-prithviraj-487100"><strong>Exclusive: Manushi Chhillar opens up about her life in spotlight: Miss World to Akshay Kumar’s leading lady</strong></a></p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>The<i> Samrat Prithviraj</i> actor shed light on the effort a student puts in to appear for competitive exams, calling it a big sacrifice for them as well as their family. "I gave JEE (Joint Entrance Examination) Mains in April after my board exams, NEET, which was then called AIPMT (All India Pre-Medical Test), in May and decided not to appear for JEE Advanced because I was very clear I wanted to do medicine. Having seen my sister clear CLAT, I was prepared. While we still had the privilege to choose between these few fields, most students don’t. NEET represents a platform for most to better their lives, and you feel responsible not just for yourself, but for the hopes of everyone around you. Most students are exhausted by the end of it," she said.</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p><strong>Also Read: </strong><a href="https://www.wionews.com/entertainment/samrat-prithviraj-actor-manushi-chhillar-looks-elegant-in-an-ivory-sharara-see-pics-483234"><strong>‘Samrat Prithviraj’ actor Manushi Chhillar looks elegant in an ivory sharara, see pics</strong></a></p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>Speaking about the youth fighting for the right to education, Chhillar said, "Every generation has a responsibility to ask for better systems than the ones they inherited. Speaking up for fairness is about protecting trust in institutions. I don’t think it’s productive to compare generations or ask whether it should have happened sooner. What’s important is that conversations are happening now."</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p><strong>Also Read: </strong><a href="https://www.wionews.com/entertainment/bollywood/news-prithviraj-trailer-akshay-kumar-manushi-chhiller-bring-an-important-chapter-of-history-to-screen-477538"><strong>'Prithviraj' trailer: Akshay Kumar, Manushi Chhiller bring an important chapter of history to screen</strong></a></p><h2>Manushi Chhillar voices students' protest</h2><p>On July 23 (Thursday), Chhillar took to Instagram to extend her support and show solidarity to protesting students. The actor shared a post that read, “I have always believed that in an unfair world, education becomes the biggest equaliser. Anyone who is saying “just write it again” is missing the point. We have to have sensitivity. I’ve written it twice in 2015 due to a paper leak then as well. It is not just an exam; it represents years of hard work, sleepless nights, sacrifices and aspirations. We then accepted the failure in our system and made peace with the solution provided. Now, a decade later, we expect change."</p>

<h2>About Manushi Chhillar</h2><p>Manushi Chhillar is an Indian actor, model, and the winner of the Miss World 2017 pageant. With the prestigious title, Chhillar became the sixth Indian woman to win Miss World and has since transitioned into a career in Bollywood.</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>She has appeared in several projects, such as <i>Samrat Prithviraj and Bade Miyan Chote Miyan</i>, and has continued to expand her film career.</p><p>&nbsp;</p>

Manushi Chhillar has recently stepped forward and voiced support for NEET aspirants protesting the 2026 paper leak. The former Miss World also recalled taking the medical entrance exam twice due to a similar situation.

After several celebrities weighed in on the ongoing NEET-UG 2026 paper leak controversy, actor and former Miss World Manushi Chhillar has extended her support to protesting students. Travelling back to her time, Chhillar recalled her own experience of having to appear for the medical entrance exam twice after a paper leak disrupted the process and spoke up about the bravery of the students fighting for the right to education. Manushi Chhillar recalls giving NEET exam twice Speaking to Hindustan Times, Manushi Chhillar shared her experience of giving the exam twice amid outrage over the NEET-UG 2026 paper leak. Chhillar said, “I remember the uncertainty more than anything else. You prepare for years believing that the exam day is the finish line, and then suddenly you’re told that it isn’t. It’s not just about writing another paper. It’s about reliving months of anxiety, postponing plans, and staying mentally prepared all over again.” Also Read: Exclusive: Manushi Chhillar opens up about her life in spotlight: Miss World to Akshay Kumar’s leading lady The Samrat Prithviraj actor shed light on the effort a student puts in to appear for competitive exams, calling it a big sacrifice for them as well as their family. "I gave JEE (Joint Entrance Examination) Mains in April after my board exams, NEET, which was then called AIPMT (All India Pre-Medical Test), in May and decided not to appear for JEE Advanced because I was very clear I wanted to do medicine. Having seen my sister clear CLAT, I was prepared. While we still had the privilege to choose between these few fields, most students don’t. NEET represents a platform for most to better their lives, and you feel responsible not just for yourself, but for the hopes of everyone around you. Most students are exhausted by the end of it," she said.

Speaking up for fairness is about protecting trust in institutions. I don’t think it’s productive to compare generations or ask whether it should have happened sooner. What’s important is that conversations are happening now." Also Read: 'Prithviraj' trailer: Akshay Kumar, Manushi Chhiller bring an important chapter of history to screen Manushi Chhillar voices students' protest On July 23 (Thursday), Chhillar took to Instagram to extend her support and show solidarity to protesting students. The actor shared a post that read, “I have always believed that in an unfair world, education becomes the biggest equaliser. Anyone who is saying “just write it again” is missing the point. We have to have sensitivity. I’ve written it twice in 2015 due to a paper leak then as well. It is not just an exam; it represents years of hard work, sleepless nights, sacrifices and aspirations. We then accepted the failure in our system and made peace with the solution provided. Now, a decade later, we expect change."

<p>Are celebrity posts on the student protest for the NEET paper leak written by AI? That’s the question many netizens have raised after noticing a similar tone and vague statements that make it unclear which side the celebrities are actually on. Days after the NEET protest escalated, thousands of students marched toward Parliament. The situation turned worse after police officers handled it with batons and tear gas to disperse them. charge. Several students were left seriously injured.&nbsp;</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>As news of the protest spread, a section of social media questioned why Bollywood A-listers weren’t addressing the issue. After the backlash grew, several celebrities, including Salman Khan, Alia Bhatt, Kareena Kapoor Khan, Aditi Rao Hydari and others, finally posted.</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>But that sparked another debate. Netizens said the posts these stars shared seemed to be written by AI.&nbsp;</p><h3>Did celebrities use AI for their student protest posts? Netizens think so</h3><p>The conversation took a funny turn when Salman Khan shared his second post. He humorously called educator and activist Sonam Wangchuk “it’s done, bro” while asking him to break his fast. His natural, human tone made netizens believe he was the one, who had actually written from the heart. Compared to that, others felt like they had just posted for the sake of it.</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>So as the issue escalated, netizens commented on one of the celebrities' posts,''Why have so many celebrities suddenly started posting all at once? And why are the posts so vague? It’s almost as if the either don’t know what they’re talking about, or they’re trying so hard not to say anything that no one can actually tell what they mean. 🤣 If you have something to say, say it clearly. If you don’t, silence is more honest than a carefully worded non-statement.''</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p><strong>Also read:</strong> <a href="https://www.wionews.com/entertainment/bollywood/manushi-chhillar-supports-neet-students-recalls-giving-exam-twice-after-paper-leak-1784892218690">Manushi Chhillar supports NEET students; recalls giving exam twice after paper leak</a></p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>Another user wrote,''Hey Chatgpt.

<p>&nbsp;</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>While several celebrities chose to release statements, some stars, including veteran star Shabana Azmi, Dhurandhar actress Ayesha Khan, Huma Qureshi, Imran Khan and others, have shown their support by taking part in the protests.</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p><i>This article is based on social media reactions and netizens' comments.

Have celebrities, except Salman Khan, used AI to write their statements for the NEET student protest happening in New Delhi, and now in several cities of the country?. This is the question that many netizens are asking.  

Are celebrity posts on the student protest for the NEET paper leak written by AI? That’s the question many netizens have raised after noticing a similar tone and vague statements that make it unclear which side the celebrities are actually on. Days after the NEET protest escalated, thousands of students marched toward Parliament. The situation turned worse after police officers handled it with batons and tear gas to disperse them. charge. Several students were left seriously injured. As news of the protest spread, a section of social media questioned why Bollywood A-listers weren’t addressing the issue. After the backlash grew, several celebrities, including Salman Khan, Alia Bhatt, Kareena Kapoor Khan, Aditi Rao Hydari and others, finally posted. But that sparked another debate. Netizens said the posts these stars shared seemed to be written by AI. Did celebrities use AI for their student protest posts? Netizens think so The conversation took a funny turn when Salman Khan shared his second post. He humorously called educator and activist Sonam Wangchuk “it’s done, bro” while asking him to break his fast. His natural, human tone made netizens believe he was the one, who had actually written from the heart. Compared to that, others felt like they had just posted for the sake of it. So as the issue escalated, netizens commented on one of the celebrities' posts,''Why have so many celebrities suddenly started posting all at once? And why are the posts so vague? It’s almost as if the either don’t know what they’re talking about, or they’re trying so hard not to say anything that no one can actually tell what they mean. 🤣 If you have something to say, say it clearly. If you don’t, silence is more honest than a carefully worded non-statement.''

The Marvelous Mrs Maisel set designer dies at 34 in suspected murder-suicide: Report

<p>Christopher Nolan’s recently released Greek epic drama&nbsp;<i>The Odyssey&nbsp;</i> has found itself at the centre of a controversy. The owner of a traditional Viking ship used during the film’s production has alleged that the studio has not cleared the bills for damage caused to the vessel during filming. Despite grossing $300 million worldwide, the film is in the spotlight over its large-scale production, with the shipowner insisting that repair costs remain unpaid despite repeated requests.</p><h2>Owner of Viking ship alleges non-payment by The Odyssey studio</h2><p>According to a report by <i>The Guardian</i>, the owners of a Viking longship replica featured in the blockbuster say that the studio has failed to clear the bills for damage to the vessel caused during shooting.</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p><strong>Also Read: </strong><a href="https://www.wionews.com/photos/christopher-nolan-s-hidden-indian-threads-from-bhagavad-gita-in-oppenheimer-to-himesh-patel-in-the-odysseymattdamontomholland-1784347896292"><strong>Christopher Nolan's 'hidden' Indian threads: Tenet’s Mumbai shoot to The Odyssey</strong></a></p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>The Vikingaleden association, which owns several Viking longship replicas, loaned the warship Glad av Gillberga to the production of Christopher Nolan’s epic drama. Peter Olausson, chair of the Vikingaleden association, told the publication that they felt betrayed by the injustice after the film giant’s alleged failure to cover the cost of damages. “We are only charging for the material cost, not the labour. Of course, Universal can afford this $6,000. We feel forgotten,” he said.</p>

Christopher Nolan’s recently released Greek epic drama The Odyssey has found itself at the centre of a controversy. The owner of a traditional Viking ship used during the film’s production has alleged that the studio has not cleared the bills for damage caused to the vessel during filming. Despite grossing $300 million worldwide, the film is in the spotlight over its large-scale production, with the shipowner insisting that repair costs remain unpaid despite repeated requests. Owner of Viking ship alleges non-payment by The Odyssey studio According to a report by The Guardian, the owners of a Viking longship replica featured in the blockbuster say that the studio has failed to clear the bills for damage to the vessel caused during shooting.

Peter Olausson, chair of the Vikingaleden association, told the publication that they felt betrayed by the injustice after the film giant’s alleged failure to cover the cost of damages. “We are only charging for the material cost, not the labour. Of course, Universal can afford this $6,000. We feel forgotten,” he said.

<p>Reflecting on the responsibility of carrying her first major lead project, Sanghi noted that while she had previously been on film sets, stepping into the central role demanded an entirely new level of dedication and emotional depth.

As the acclaimed romantic drama Dil Bechara marks six years since its release on July 24, lead actress Sanjana Sanghi is looking back at the life-changing milestone that introduced her as a leading lady to Indian cinema. Released on a digital platform during the height of the COVID-19 pandemic in 2020, the film resonated deeply with millions of viewers across the globe, serving both as a heartfelt love story and as the final on-screen performance of the late Sushant Singh Rajput. For Sanjana Sanghi, stepping into the shoes of her character, Kizie Basu, represented a major artistic leap. Expressing her enduring love for the film and celebrating its six-year milestone, Sanghi shared"6 years to this most special day. Always was, always will be, the most magical. Thank you, for giving Dil Bechara and Kizie Basu a permanent home in your hearts, and for celebrating six years of our film in the most special way, always. I am forever grateful."
