These days, a video of veteran actor Naseeruddin Shah is becoming increasingly viral on social media. In this video he is seen with his sons Vivaan Shah and Imad Shah. Many social media users are claiming that this video is of CJP’s ‘Chalo Sansad’ protest held at Jantar Mantar in Delhi and Naseeruddin Shah had reached there in support of the students.
In such a situation, now everyone wants to know whether Naseeruddin Shah has really reached the ongoing protest at Jantar Mantar with his two sons. At the same time, now in the fact check this claim has been found to be wrong and the video is being said to be fake. Let us know what is the whole matter?
truth of viral claim
Actually, this video is not from Jantar Mantar in Delhi, but from outside Regal Cinema in Colaba, Mumbai. This video was shared by Instagram user Rajesh Gaur on July 15. In the video, Naseeruddin Shah is seen standing outside Regal Cinema with his son Vivaan Shah after the screening of the film.
The area outside Regal Cinema is also clearly visible in the video, where screening of films like ‘Raja Shivaji’ and ‘Pati Patni Aur Woh 2’ was going on. This part was cut in the video that went viral, making it appear as if the actor was present at the Delhi protest.

Viral claim exposed even by date
The truth of the viral claim is also evident from the date of the video. This video was first posted on Instagram on July 15 and was reshared on July 20. Later it started going viral on social media with the false claim that it is a video of the protest at Jantar Mantar in Delhi.
Naseeruddin Shah has come out in support of students
A few days ago, Naseeruddin Shah and his wife Ratna Pathak Shah, along with writer Arundhati Roy, economist Jayati Ghosh and many others, had appealed to Sonam Wangchuk to end her fast unto death. He said that his support will remain with the demands of the students, but it is also important to remain healthy for the long fight. Therefore he appealed to Wangchuk to end his fast. However, this video of Naseeruddin has come to light and is not of Jantar Mantar.
