Kareena Kapoor Khan voices support for students amid ongoing NEET protests; Says, “They’re not preparing for tomorrow, they’re preparing for tomorrow”
Kareena wrote in her note, “I’ve been sitting with this for a few days now, but I can’t sit with it anymore. It’s impossible to hear the voices of so many young people… and they shouldn’t be made to do that. 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. But education only works if children believe in it. And they stop believing the moment that They suspect that honesty, hard work and merit don’t really matter.”
She added, “No child should have to wonder whether their efforts will be enough. They deserve a system they can trust, where merit is real, effort is rewarded, and every child starts on the same level. That’s not too much to ask. It’s the minimum. When an entire generation speaks with one voice about their future, listening is not a courtesy we extend. It’s an obligation we owe them.” Our children are watching us as closely as we watch them… ultimately, no longer… will tell them everything about whether fairness and trust are real, or just words adults use.”
“They are not preparing for tomorrow. They are tomorrow,” Kareena wrote at the end of her post.
The actress’ statement comes amid the ongoing NEET protests, with students demanding that their concerns be addressed. Kareena’s message adds her voice to the growing public discussion on this issue, highlighting the importance of fairness, trust and merit in the education system.
