Saif Ali Khan praises Rahul Gandhi as a 'brave and honest' politician
New Delhi: Actor Saif Ali Khan recently lauded Congress MP and Leader of Opposition Rahul Gandhi, describing him as a ‘brave and honest’ politician. Speaking at the India Today Conclave, Saif highlighted how Gandhi has managed to transform his public image despite the criticisms he faced in the past.
During the event, when asked about the qualities he values in a politician, Saif responded, “I like a brave politician, an honest politician.” When given the names of prominent political figures like Prime Minister Narendra Modi, former Delhi Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal, and Rahul Gandhi, Saif chose Rahul Gandhi for his impressive work and efforts to change public perception. “There was a point when people were disrespecting things he was saying and doing. I think he has turned that around by working very hard in a very interesting way,” Saif stated.
The actor’s remarks have been widely shared on social media, with many calling it an endorsement for the Congress leader. This comes as Saif promotes his latest film, Devara Part 1, which features Jr NTR and Janhvi Kapoor alongside him in lead roles. Directed by Kortala Siva, the film has seen a strong opening day with impressive advance booking numbers and a projected ₹100-crore global collection.
Saif’s comments on Rahul Gandhi have gained attention, particularly because of the comparisons drawn between his portrayal in the Amazon Prime Video series Taandav and the Congress leader.

YouTuber booked for allegedly spreading false information about Haryana CET
PANCHKULA: Police have registered a case against a YouTuber for allegedly circulating misleading and false information about the Haryana Common Eligibility Test (CET) through social media.
According to Inspector Rupesh Chaudhary, Station House Officer of Sector-5 police station, the complaint was filed on August 1, 2025, by Haryana Staff Selection Commission (HSSC) official Kedar Singh, reported The Indian Express on Monday.
The complaint alleges that Prince Lamba, a journalist and anchor with the YouTube channel Haryana News 24, uploaded two videos on July 26 and 27 containing sensational claims about the CET examination.
The videos carried headlines such as “CET Cancelled, Will the Paper be Held Again?” and “HSSC’s Big Betrayal of Lakhs of Youth! Uproar in Haryana.” Both these headlines reportedly caused confusion among a large number of candidates in the state.
Deputy Commissioner of Police Srishti Gupta said that a First Information Report has been registered under Sections 335 and 353(1)(b) of the Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita (BNS) and the accused has been served a legal notice, and an investigation is underway.
