In the post, he also urged people to come together and raise their voice against NEET.

The actor wrote in the tweet, “My heart goes out to the three families…! Can’t imagine their pain… The news of three students committing suicide on the same day over NEET fears has shaken my conscience. There’s nothing more shameful than offering words of comfort instead of best wishes to students who are sitting for an exam. That students have to write exams and prove their worth in a life-threatening situation like the corona pandemic pains me.”
