People don't go on hunger strike just like that. It's really troubling when the system becomes so indifferent to people's lives. Only a man as empathetic and a believer of truth and justice has the courage to do that. I don't have the courage to do what Sonam Wangchuk is doing.” Anurag also added that he stands with the ‘braveheart that Sonam Wangchuk is’. In a separate note on his feed, he wrote, “Ab hadd ho rahi hai. (This is going too far).” In the caption, he added, “Behre bhi itne behre nahin hotey, aur andhe bhi itne andhe nahin hotey. Jaanwar aur rakshason ke dil bhi itne patthar nahin hotey. Ye unse bhi badtar aadamkhor hain. Chup rehne mein sharam aaney lagi hai. (Even the deaf aren’t this deaf and blind aren’t this blind. Even the hearts of animals and demons aren’t this cold. They are bigger man-eaters than them. I feel ashamed to stay quiet any longer).” Anurag joins a long list of celebrities who have shown support for Wangchuk’s movement. Prakash Raj, Chinmayi Sripaada, Omi Vaidya, Zeenat Aman, Abhay Deol, Swara Bhasker, Soni Razdan, Naseeruddin Shah, Ratna Pathak Shah, Shabana Azmi, and others have been vocal in their support.
