Filmmaker and Aamir Khan's ex-wife Kiran Rao extended her support to Sonam Wangchuk as his hunger strike entered its 20th day on Friday. Rao said, "I stand in solidarity with Wangchuk...and all the citizens...who are protesting for the rights of our students." Her statement came shortly after Aamir clarified that his 3 Idiots character Rancho was not based on Wangchuk.
