'Stars Had FOMO': Chetan Bhagat On Celebrities Joining NEET Protest Debate

As the NEET protest gathers nationwide momentum, bestselling author Chetan Bhagat shares his views with NDTV on why celebrities suddenly began speaking out after remaining silent for days. Bhagat argues that many public figures reacted only after the movement became impossible to ignore, driven by pressure from their own followers on social media. He also explains why the protests have become much bigger than just NEET or paper leaks, saying the movement has cut across class, caste and religious divides, attracting students, professionals and families alike.
