While most celebrate birthdays with cake and balloons, actor Prakash Raj chose a different path for his recent one. In a heartwarming display of solidarity, Prakash Raj extended his support to Sonam Wangchuk, a prominent educationist and environmental activist from Ladakh, who is currently on a hunger strike.
Sonam Wangchuk’s 21-day hunger strike demands statehood for Ladakh alongside four other crucial points. Ladakh, a region known for its breathtaking natural beauty, is currently a Union Territory. However, residents fear that without statehood, the delicate ecosystem could be disrupted by unchecked development and exploitation of natural resources.
Raj’s birthday message wasn’t just a personal act; it brought much-needed attention to Wangchuk’s cause. Sharing a post captioned “It’s my birthday today…and I’m celebrating by showing solidarity with @Wangchuk66 and the people of Ladakh who are fighting for us…our country…our environment and our future. Let’s stand by them #justasking,” he urged others to stand with Ladakh in their fight for a sustainable future. This act of public support highlights the environmental concerns surrounding Ladakh and emphasizes the importance of responsible development.
Sonam Wangchuk’s specific demands include granting Ladakh the status of a tribal area under the 6th Schedule of the Indian Constitution. This designation would provide the region with greater autonomy in managing its land and resources, ensuring its unique cultural and environmental heritage is protected. While the path forward may be challenging, Prakash Raj’s birthday message serves as a reminder that collective action and unwavering voices can bring about positive change.

Vijay Concerned Over Jana Nayagan Setbacks
Thalapathy Vijay has expressed concern over the politically motivated troubles surrounding his upcoming film Jana Nayagan. In an interview with NDTV, the Tamil superstar said he feels deeply for his producer, as the project is facing obstacles due to his entry into politics. While Vijay anticipated challenges and was mentally prepared for the personal impact of his political journey, he admitted being pained by the difficulties caused to the producer, especially given that the film’s budget is around Rs 350 crore, with his remuneration alone accounting for Rs 250 crore.
The Bigil and Mersal star noted that his political entry has effectively resulted in a “permanent exile” from films. Interestingly, Vijay also opened up about his admiration for Bollywood superstar Shah Rukh Khan, calling him a role model. He praised SRK’s clarity in speech and articulation and spoke of their close bond, referring to a viral interaction that took place during the filming of Jawan in Chennai.
Jana Nayagan was originally slated for a Pongal release on January 9 and is being described as Vijay’s last film before he fully immerses himself in politics. The actor has recently launched his own political party, Tamilaga Vettri Kazhagam (TVK). The film ran into trouble when the CBFC withheld certification, citing concerns that certain scenes could hurt religious sentiments.
