Long after Salman Khan’s “Sonam, it’s done, bro” line slipped out of a protest flashpoint and into meme culture, Sonam Wangchuk has answered it in a way that shifts the conversation back to the moment itself. Speaking about the actor’s abrupt change in stance during the NEET protest episode, Wangchuk said, “Majbooriyan rahi hongi sabki.”
The remark reframes a line that had largely lived online as a joke. Rather than inflaming the episode, Wangchuk addressed it briefly and moved the focus to the larger circumstances around it.
Sonam Wangchuk’s Response To Salman Khan
In his conversation with Prakhar Gupta, Wangchuk said, “Majbooriyan rahi hongi sabki (everyone would have had their share of compulsions). I don’t want to get into that.” He added, “You have to look in all directions. The fact that he even said something at all, I respect that. Otherwise I can’t comment on his compulsions.”
Those remarks come after Salman’s back-to-back posts during the NEET protest became a major talking point online. The actor had first expressed support for students protesting over the NEET-UG paper leak, praising their peaceful stand and their determination to fight for a better educational system. Within 24 hours, however, he changed course and urged students to return home, while also asking Wangchuk to end his fast with the now-viral line, “Sonam, it’s done, bro.”
How Salman Khan’s Post Took On A Life Of Its Own
Salman’s appeal moved far beyond the original post almost instantly. “Sonam, it’s done, bro” quickly became meme material across social media, with the phrase appearing on T-shirts and in countless joke posts. Wangchuk responded to that afterlife with good humour too, accepting one such T-shirt as a gift and saying he was receiving it out of a “healthy sentiment.”
Despite Salman’s message, Wangchuk did not call off his hunger strike at that stage. He ended it only after the Union government agreed in writing to address key demands linked to the student-led protest movement. That gave the episode a more serious political conclusion than the internet’s meme cycle suggested at the time.
Why Wangchuk’s Reply Changes The Story
Wangchuk’s response now alters how the viral line is being read. For weeks, “Sonam, it’s done, bro” circulated as a standalone pop culture moment, detached from the protest that produced it. His reply places it back inside the context of public pressure, political sensitivity, and the unusual intersection of celebrity commentary and student unrest.
That is what gives the exchange its staying power. Salman’s line became the meme, but Wangchuk’s answer gives the moment its clearest meaning. In one sentence, he acknowledged the shift, declined to escalate it, and left behind a response that is likely to travel just as widely as the original remark.
