Actress Soni Razdan has voiced her worry about engineer-activist Sonam Wangchuk’s declining health during his hunger strike. She urged Wangchuk to halt his fast for the sake of his well-being. Razdan, along with other celebrities like Shabana Azmi and Zeenat Aman, has shown support for Wangchuk’s cause.
Several actors, including Naseeruddin Shah and Abhay Deol, have also extended their solidarity to Sonam Wangchuk. Shabana Azmi recently made an emotional plea for Wangchuk to end his hunger strike, emphasizing India’s continued need for his guidance and leadership. Wangchuk has been on a hunger strike at Delhi’s Jantar Mantar since June 28, 2026, demanding accountability for alleged exam irregularities.
Wangchuk’s protest aims to address issues like the NEET paper leak controversy and calls for the resignation of Union Education Minister Dharmendra Pradhan. Concerns have been raised by doctors regarding Wangchuk’s health as he has reportedly lost around 8.5 kilograms since the start of his fast.
