Veteran Bollywood actress and social activist Shabana Azmi experienced a sudden health scare on Monday while participating in a student-led protest at Delhi’s Jantar Mantar. The acclaimed artist had joined the demonstration in a strong show of solidarity with the Cockroach Janta Party (CJP) movement, which is currently advocating for critical educational reforms. Witnesses at the venue reported that the 75-year-old actress began showing signs of physical distress as the intense heat and heavy crowding at the site took a toll on her well-being. Recognizing that her health was rapidly deteriorating, alert volunteers and nearby security personnel quickly stepped in to manage the situation. They safely escorted a visibly weak Azmi through the dense crowd, navigating her to a nearby security guard cabin where she could finally escape the stifling environment and rest in a chair.
Before this unfortunate incident occurred, the actress was highly active at the protest site, even sharing photos of herself traveling in a truck alongside fellow actor Prakash Raj. She spoke passionately to media outlets about the absolute necessity of holding peaceful demonstrations, emphasizing that non-violent protest is a right firmly guaranteed by the Indian Constitution. Azmi also boldly criticized mainstream media coverage of the event, arguing that journalists should focus deeply on the actual educational issues being raised by the students rather than fixating on the presence or absence of major Bollywood celebrities. While inside the security cabin, volunteers worked to keep her comfortable by fanning her and providing immediate assistance, and she is now recovering from the temporary bout of exhaustion. The government has reportedly agreed to open a dialogue with the CJP leadership, bringing a ray of hope to the peaceful demonstrators who continue to gather at Jantar Mantar.
