A screenshot claiming to show Bollywood actor Shah Rukh Khan extending support to ongoing student-led protests has circulated widely across social media platforms. The graphic surfaced shortly after fellow superstar Salman Khan publicly commented on the nationwide student demonstrations concerning examination paper leaks. However, a fact-check confirms that the post attributed to Shah Rukh Khan is fake and digitally fabricated.

Did SRK Back CJP-Led Student Protest?
The social media claims originated amid ongoing demonstrations organised by student groups, including the Cockroach Janta Party (CJP), demanding accountability over alleged irregularities in national entrance examinations such as NEET-UG. After actor Salman Khan posted a long message applauding the students for maintaining a peaceful movement, a graphic purporting to be a social media update from Shah Rukh Khan began spreading on X (formerly Twitter) and messaging apps.
The viral screenshot claimed that Shah Rukh Khan posted a message saying "Haar Mat Maanna" (Do not give up) to the protesting students. The post suggested that the actor was standing in solidarity with the CJP-led agitation at Delhi's Jantar Mantar and urging students to stay strong in their fight for educational reform.

Here's the Truth
A direct review of Shah Rukh Khan's official, verified social media accounts—including X (@iamsrk) and Instagram—shows that no such post or comment was ever published.
Fact-checking verification confirms that the circulating image is a digitally altered screenshot engineered to look like an authentic post from the actor. Furthermore, neither Shah Rukh Khan nor his official management team has released any statement, video, or press release regarding the CJP student protests.
