Bollywood names like Farhan Akhtar, Vivek Anand Oberoi and Rahul Dholakia say they are "disappointed" over the leaking of the question papers and that the class 10 and 12 students have to re-sit for the exams.
The Central Board of Secondary Education (CBSE) on Wednesday said it will re-conduct examination in the maths and economics papers for Class X and Class XII respectively following the leaking of question papers even as a Delhi Police probe was underway.
Vivek called the question paper leak unacceptable and unfair.
Dholakia urged that people who are involved in the leak should be severely punished.
Emraan Hashmi also reacted to the news.
At the success party of her film Hichki, Rani Mukerji spoke about CBSE exam paper leak.
The new dates for the examinations and other details will be hosted on the CBSE website within a week. The CBSE held the exam for the Class XII Economics paper on Monday and the Class X Maths paper on Wednesday.
The board move comes after a handwritten note with the same questions as the CBSE question papers was found circulating on a social media message application days before the exams in these papers were conducted.
This year, 16,38,428 students registered for Class X and 11,86,306 for the Class XII board examinations.
