Sonakshi Sinha was visibly overjoyed after Union education minister Dharmendra Pradhan stepped down from office on Saturday. The actor, who has previously taken to social media to express support for the ongoing student protests and Sonam Wangchuk’s hunger strike, is back on Instagram with a light-hearted video dedicated to Generation Z.Instead of giving a traditional reaction, Sonakshi opted for comedy to express her feelings. In a playful gesture, she admitted that she had misjudged the younger generation and even covered her ears and did sit-ups as a symbolic apology.In the video, Sonakshi excitedly said, “Aap jaante nahi ho, aapne aaj kya kiya hai? I am an artist, bro, but Gen Z is the art!!! Main bahot halke mein leti thi Gen Z ko. Chaar ghante kaam karte hain, thakuchjaate thi Gen Z hik outside.”The actor explained that she once thought Gen Z lacked the resilience to bring about meaningful change, joking that she thought they would get tired after just a few hours at work. However, the events of that day prompted her to completely rethink that perspective.Continuing her playful tribute, Sonakshi covered her ears, did sit-ups, and said, “Never again!!! Salute… salute! Look at me now, I want to be you. I want to be Gen Z. What have you done? Unbelievable, unbelievable!”Her response came after weeks of student-led demonstrations calling for accountability over the exam-related controversy. Throughout the protests, Sonakshi has been one of the film celebrities to publicly share support for the movement on social media.Explaining the sentiment behind the video, she expressed pride in the younger generation and thanked the students in the caption.She added, “Now…sathiya gayi hai of the millennium. July 25, 2026. What a beautiful day!!!”The title echoes the humorous spirit of the film, with Sonakshi opting for celebration rather than a lengthy political statement.Meanwhile, Dharmendra Pradhan confirmed his resignation in a detailed statement posted on social media. In the final part of the letter, he revealed that he had officially resigned and thanked the Prime Minister Modi opportunity to receive services.“I have submitted my resignation to His Excellency the Prime Minister. I express my sincere gratitude to His Excellency the Prime Minister for his guidance, trust and unwavering support,” he wrote.Pradhan also extended his gratitude to the Council of Ministers, ministry officials, staff and everyone with whom he worked during his tenure.
