The actor’s social media message, “Sonam, it’s done bro”, quickly went viral online. Wangchuk has now responded to Khan’s widely-shared remark.

During an appearance on Prakhar Gupta’s podcast, Sonam was handed a white t-shirt printed with Salman’s picture and the now-viral “Sonam, it’s done bro” line. Prakhar asked him if he’d caught wind of the superstar’s comment, which had also triggered a wave of memes on Instagram. Taking the t-shirt with a smile, Sonam said, “I want to take it as a healthy sentiment. Majbooriyan hoti hogi sabki. Toh main usme nahi jana chahunga. Aage-peeche, daayein-baayein dekhna padta hai. Kuch kaha iska main izzat karta hu baaki majbooriyon se toh main uspe nahi kahunga”.

Keep the spirit for another day if there be a need, which I doubt, n eat something. If u want, will send u food from home”.
