Bollywood actress  Kareena Kapoor has extended her support to students protesting over the alleged NEET paper leak, saying their voices deserve to be heard and that every child should have faith in the education system. Taking to Instagram, Bebo said she had been thinking about the issue for a few days before deciding to speak, and said the voices of young people are “impossible to ignore.”

She went on to speak about the importance of education and why students must be able to trust the system.

Saying that education gives children “confidence” and “hope,” Kareena wrote, “I’ve sat with this for a few days, but I can’t sit with it any longer. The voices of so many young people asking to be heard are impossible to ignore… and they shouldn’t be. We all know what education means to a child. It gives them confidence. It gives them hope. It gives families proof that tomorrow can be better than today.”

The actor also said that no student should doubt whether hard work will be enough. Stressing that children deserve a fair and trustworthy system, she added, “No child should have to wonder if their effort will be enough. They deserve a system they can trust, where merit is real, effort is rewarded, and every child starts on equal footing. That isn’t a lot to ask. It’s the bare minimum.”

Calling it an “obligation” to listen to the younger generation, Kareena further wrote, “When an entire generation speaks with one voice about its own future, listening isn’t a courtesy we extend. It’s an obligation we owe them. Our children are watching us as closely as we watch them. How we respond now… not eventually, now… will tell them everything about whether fairness and trust are real, or just words adults use.”
