‘Border 2’, starring Sunny Deol, Varun Dhawan, Diljit Dosanjh and Ahan Shetty, continues to perform strongly at the box office. Following the film’s successful theatrical run, the cast interacted with the media, where Varun shared a candid and humorous anecdote about his wife Natasha Dalal’s reaction to his performance.
Natasha Dalal’s Sweet Yet Honest Feedback
During the media interaction, Varun Dhawan opened up about how Natasha responded after watching the film.
According to the actor, she was genuinely happy with his performance but didn’t shy away from offering practical advice.
“She was like… vo hamesha bolti hai I knew it you always have it in yourself. Bas tumhe khud ko challenge karna hai. Abhi yehi hai ki zyada post mat karo, zyada dikho mat. Zyada bolo mat. Ghar pe bhi bolti hai zyada bolo mat, bahar bhi bolti hai zyada bolo mat. Han Sunny sir aur dharam patni same baat bolte hai,” Varun said, laughing.
Her reaction, he implied, was both encouraging and grounding — praising his effort while reminding him to stay measured amid the success.
Dealing With Trolling Before Release
Before ‘Border 2’ released in theatres, Varun faced social media criticism. A moment in the trailer — where he appeared smiling — drew backlash from some users who questioned whether he could convincingly portray Col. Hoshiyar Singh Dahiya, a Param Vir Chakra awardee.
Rather than responding publicly, Varun chose to focus on the film.
He also revealed that Salman Khan personally reached out during that phase to offer support — a gesture he appreciated amid the online noise.
About ‘Border 2’
Released in theatres on January 23, ‘Border 2’ serves as a sequel to the 1997 war classic ‘Border’. The film is produced by T-Series and JP Films.
In addition to Sunny Deol, Varun Dhawan, Diljit Dosanjh and Ahan Shetty, the film features:
- Anya Singh
- Medha Rana
- Sonam Bajwa
- Mona Singh
- Pranav Vashisht
The story is inspired by real events from the 1971 India-Pakistan War and depicts the coordinated efforts of the Indian Army, Navy and Air Force in defending the nation.
Balancing Praise And Perspective
As ‘Border 2’ continues its strong box office run, Varun Dhawan’s lighthearted revelation about Natasha Dalal’s reaction adds a personal touch to the film’s success narrative.
While audiences have embraced his performance, it appears that at home, the advice remains simple — stay grounded and “zyada bolo mat.”
