Aamir Khan denies knowing Sonam

Aamir Khan was in the news recently after his appearance at the British Film Institute in London. During an interview with the audience, the actor was asked about the long-held belief that his iconic character in ‘3 Idiots’, Phunsukh Wangdu, originated from Wangchuk of Ladakh.In a viral video, Aamir said, “No! It’s not true, really. This is the wrong idea.” He went on to explain: “I did not know about Mr Sonam at that time when we were making the film ‘3 Idiots’.” I know I saw a video of Chatur, recently, he said ‘No, he is wrong’. Maybe that’s what Chatur was thinking, but I want to tell you that even director Rajkumar Hirani, or writer Abhijat Joshi, or me…we didn’t know about Mr Sonam.““However, what Mr Sonam is doing is a good job in any situation. He doesn’t have to settle for ‘3 Idiots’ culture for us to respect him.”The actor was also asked about Wangchuk’s hunger strike, which has now entered the 19th day. Expressing concern, Aamir said: “I think we are all worried about his health and his life.”
