META Instagram verify Wanjop Sohkhlet as top celebrity in Meghalaya no 2 verification after Meghalaya CM

by Publisher Meghinn -
Image
Wanjop Sohkhlet has been verified by Meta Instagram on his Instagram official account recently, and this proves to be his official account after the verification from Meta that his account is officially recognised as the celebrity account.   He became the second person to verify accounts in Meghalaya after Conrad Sangma, the Chief Minister of Meghalaya, had the same verification for a long time after he became the Chief Minister of Meghalaya in 2018.   Critics may criticise Sohkhlet's followers, but things are not about followers. Many Khasi Instagram models and influencers who have almost a hundred thousand followers don't attain verification since they are pushing themselves to be celebrities, not their talent to let someone push them as celebrities.   Sohkhlet is a top singer in Meghalaya, and with his new trending songs made by him and his colleagues like Shisur, Jimari, Rangtyrwa, etc., this makes him popular in whatever his album is. His fans like his music an...
