Summary
- Wangchuk respects Salman for supporting protesting students.
- Khan urged students and Wangchuk to end hunger strike in July.
- Wangchuk's hunger strike concluded after minister's resignation.
Months after Salman Khan's "Sonam, it's done bro" statement gained internet fame, activist Sonam Wangchuk has shared his perspective. Appearing on a podcast, Wangchuk acknowledged Salman's support for protesting students, stating he respects the actor's words, while also noting everyone has personal "compulsions."
Wangchuk's remarks came when presented with a T-shirt featuring Khan's popular line. He viewed it as a "healthy sentiment." The activist explained that while people must consider various aspects of a situation, he valued Salman speaking out.
The viral exchange originated in July during protests against the NEET-UG 2026 paper leak. Salman Khan had urged students to end their hunger strike and return home, offering to send food.
Sonam Wangchuk had begun an indefinite hunger strike at Jantar Mantar on June 28. The protest, supported by some Bollywood personalities, demanded the resignation of the Union Education Minister.
Following a High Court order, Wangchuk was moved to hospitals but continued his strike. The demonstration ended after the Education Minister resigned and other demands were met, including an assurance against legal action for protesters.
