Sonam Wangchukwho is currently on a long hunger strike wants to be protected by Ladakh law.In a recent media interaction, Aamir was asked about Wangchuk’s fast. Since Aamir Rancho’s character in ‘3 Idiots’ has been believed to be inspired by Sonam Wangchuk, the actor’s response has attracted a lot of attention. Aamir denied knowing Wangchuk before he made the 2009 blockbuster, saying neither he nor the film’s writers knew him at the time.Aamir said at an event, “I saw Chatur’s (Omi Vaidya) movie recently, and he said.Rajkumar HiraniAbhijat Joshi) who are the two authors, we did not know about Mr Sonam.

The shooting of the Rajkumar Hirani directorial finally wrapped up in February 2009.Based on this sequence of events, many netizens argue that the award ceremony where Aamir Khan and Sonam Wangchuk met happened before the finale – and the big shoot of ‘3 Idiots’. This has led Aamir to speculate that he did not know about Wangchuk before the film.Despite the controversies, Aamir expressed concern for Wangchuk’s health during a recent interview and praised his contribution to society. However, his claim that he didn’t know Wangchuk before ‘3 Idiots’ also sparked controversy on social media, with many users citing an incident in 2008 as evidence to the contrary. Meanwhile, amid Aamir’s statement, his ex-wife Kiran Rao has come to Wangchuk’s support.
