Is Sonam Wangchuk really ‘Phunsukh Wangdu’? Know The Truth
“I am deeply concerned about Sonam Wangchuk’s health, and I hope he calls off his hunger strike. However, 3 Idiots was not inspired by Sonam Wangchuk. That is a misconception. We didn’t know about Sonam Wangchuk at all when we were making the film. I recently saw a video of ‘Chatur’ claiming the movie was inspired by Sonam ji, but Chatur is wrong. I can assure you that Rajkumar Hirani, Abhijat Joshi, and I did not know Sonam Wangchuk when the script was being written.” ~ Actor Aamir Khan
‘Behti hawa sa tha wo, kahan gaya usey dhundho’. This song from the 2009 film 3 Idiots has swept Instagram, with several left liberal propagandists, actors, and content creators making emotional reels appealing to people to save the so-called “real-life” Phunsukh Wangdu, Sonam Wangchuk. When politics and gimmicks could not garner national sympathy and support, the Cockroach Janta Party (CJP) played the tried and tested emotional card. As Sonam Wangchuk’s indefinite hunger strike entered its 17th day, social media saw a wave of emotional content across platforms like Instagram and X, framing Sonam Wangchuk as the ‘real-life Phunsukh Wangdu’.
