What Happened

Actors Piyush Mishra and Kangana Ranaut have publicly criticized Naseeruddin Shah following his earlier remarks about the film industry's silence on student protests. Mishra, who recently visited students protesting at the Jaipal Singh Munda Stadium in Ranchi and provided financial support, challenged Shah's stance on the matter. Ranaut subsequently shared reports of Mishra's comments on social media and directed personal criticism toward Shah.

The controversy stems from a previous statement by Shah, who had likened actors who did not speak out on student protests to dogs unable to speak because they had bones in their mouths.
