Actor Omi Vaidya, best known as Chatur "Silencer" Ramalingam in 3 Idiots, has appealed for attention to activist Sonam Wangchuk's deteriorating health during his indefinite hunger strike at Delhi's Jantar Mantar. Wangchuk, who inspired Aamir Khan's character Phunsukh Wangdu, joined the Cockroach Janata Party's protest on June 28, demanding Education Minister Dharmendra Pradhan's resignation over the alleged NEET paper leak. In a video message, Vaidya urged people to understand Wangchuk's concerns regardless of their views, saying, "I don't want Phunsukh Wangdu to die." Wangchuk has reportedly lost 8.2 kg, with his latest medical readings showing blood pressure of 107/70 mmHg and blood glucose of 67 mg/dL.
