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.

Prabhas’ Star Power Shines as The Raja Saab Nears ₹201 Cr in 4 Days
What truly defines star power? It is the rare ability of a superstar to draw audiences to theatres regardless of reviews or word of mouth. Prabhas is proving exactly that with his latest release, The Raja Saab, which is delivering massive box-office numbers despite mixed critical reception.
Directed by Maruthi and produced by People Media Factory, The Raja Saab hit theatres on January 9, with premiere shows held a day earlier. Though the film opened to divided opinions, its box-office performance tells a completely different story. Within just four days, the film has reportedly collected nearly ₹201 crore gross worldwide, as per figures shared by the production house, underlining Prabhas’ unmatched pull at the Indian box office.
The film’s horror-fantasy backdrop appears to be striking a chord with audiences, helping it sustain strong footfalls even amid criticism. Notably, despite stiff competition from Megastar Chiranjeevi’s Mana Shankara Varaprasad Garu, The Raja Saab still managed to rake in over ₹25 crore gross on Monday alone.
With the holiday season working in its favour, trade circles believe that if the momentum continues, the film could comfortably head towards the ₹350–400 crore mark in the coming days. Adding to its mass appeal is the glamour quotient, with Nidhie Aggerwal, Malavika Mohanan, and Riddhi Kumar drawing strong responses, especially from B and C centres, further boosting collections.
