Activist Sonam Wangchuk went on an indefinite hunger strike at Delhi's Jantar Mantar in June, extending his support to the Cockroach Janta Party (CJP), which had called for the resignation of then Union Education Minister Dharmendra Pradhan. In Delhi, the police shifted him to a hospital, where he continued his strike. Later, Salman Khan urged Sonam to call off his hunger strike in a social media post, which turned into a viral meme. The activist has now responded to Salman Khan's viral remark.

Sonam Wangchuk reacts to Salman Khan's viral remark

During an appearance on Prakhar Gupta's podcast, Sonam was offered a T-shirt with Salman Khan's picture on it and the viral 'Sonam, it's done bro' line. He was asked if he was aware of the superstar's comment, which had also generated a wave of reactions on social media. Handing over the T-shirt with a smile, Sonam said, "Majbooriyan hoti hongi sabki. Aage peeche, daayen baayen dekhna padta hai. Lekin unhone kuch kaha uski main izzat karta hoon (Everyone must have their own compulsions. You have to consider all sides and look at the situation from every angle. But I respect whatever he has said)."
