Bollywood star Salman Khan publicly urged activist Sonam Wangchuk to end his hunger strike over the NEET paper leak protests, offering to send him home-cooked food and asking him to maintain the spirit for another day if needed. He reiterated that the students’ safety and education are the top priority and cited the Prime Minister’s tweet promising action against those responsible for the leak. Khan also urged the protesting students to return home to their families, emphasizing that they should not worry and that authorities are addressing the issue. This appeal followed Wangchuk’s hospitalization after continuing his fast in Delhi, where he had criticized the government and demanded assurances against punitive action toward protesters. The broader protest has drawn backing from other Bollywood figures who publicly voiced support for the students and their demands for accountability. The row centers on alleged irregularities in NEET-related paper leaks and the government’s response to the protests and potential punitive measures.
