Rajkummar Rao has been at the center of a online debate over his involvement in the Modi Hai Toh Mumkin Hai campaign song and his support for the CJP protests against NEET paper leaks. In multiple social posts, he asserted that he could never “sell his soul” and that a single song does not define his beliefs, blaming external pressure as a possible influence on his past participation. Rao also publicly backed student protests, urging dialogue and empathy, and stressing the importance of a fair, transparent education system for national growth. The exchanges sparked widespread commentary, with some fans defending his honesty and others accusing him of propaganda.
