Sonakshi Sinha was visibly delighted after Union Education Minister Dharmendra Pradhan stepped down from his post on Saturday. After supporting the ongoing student protests and Sonam Wangchuk’s hunger strike via social media, the actor returned to Instagram with a light-hearted video dedicated to Gen Z.Instead of giving a conventional reaction, Sonakshi chose comedy to express her feelings. In a playful gesture, she admitted that she had misjudged the younger generation and even held her ears while doing sit-ups as a symbolic apology.In the video, an excited Sonakshi said, “Aap jaante nahi ho, aapne aaj kya kiya hai? I am a bro artist but Gen Z is art!!! Main bahot halke mein leti thi Gen Z ko. Chaar ghante kaam karte hain, thak jaate hai, kuch nahi hoga inse.”The actor explained that he once believed that Gen Z lacked the stamina to bring about meaningful change, joking that he assumed they would tire after only a few hours of work. However, the events of the day prompted her to completely rethink that opinion.Continuing her playful tribute, Sonakshi held her ears and did sit-ups before saying, “Never again!!! Hello… hello! Look at me now, I want to be you. I want to be Gen Z. What have you all done jaar? Amazing, amazing!”His enthusiastic response followed weeks of student-led demonstrations demanding accountability over exam-related controversies. Throughout the protests, Sonakshi had been among the film personalities who publicly shared messages of support for the movement on social media.Explaining the emotion behind his video, he expressed pride in the younger generation and thanked the students in the caption.He added: “Brb now…millennial sathiya gayi hai. 25.07.2026. What a day!!!”The caption echoed the humorous spirit of the video, with Sonakshi choosing celebration over a lengthy political statement.Meanwhile, Dharmendra Pradhan confirmed his resignation through a detailed statement posted on social media. In the final part of the letter, he revealed that he had formally resigned and thanked the Prime Minister Narendra Modi for the opportunity to serve.“I have tendered my resignation to the Hon’ble Prime Minister. I express my sincere gratitude to the Hon’ble Prime Minister for his unwavering guidance, confidence and support,” he wrote.Pradhan also conveyed his gratitude to his Cabinet colleagues, ministry officials, employees and everyone he worked with during his tenure.
