Om Vaidya Calls for Nationwide Support to End Sonam Wangchuk’s Fast

Actor Omid Vaidya, famed for his role as “Chatur” in *3 Idiots*, posted a heartfelt video from Jantar‑Mantar on July 14. He said he does not want to see Sonam Wangchuk die while fighting for the right to quality education and environmental justice.

Vaidya explained that Wangchuk’s “Ice Stupa” invention and his work with SECMOL have earned international accolades, yet the activist still faces neglect from policymakers. He appealed to the public to share the protest’s message, tag officials, and press for a meeting between the government and the hunger striker.

The actor concluded by urging the nation to stand in solidarity, noting that the cause transcends regional boundaries and concerns the future of all Indian students.
