Ouch! That sounds incredibly painful. It's good to see the team supporting him. But honestly, I hope production houses invest more in safety. These action sequences can be risky.

Major Hoshiar Singh Dahiya is a legendary name from the 1971 war. Big shoes to fill. Hope Varun does justice to the role. The original Border is an emotion for every Indian.

The article is a bit all over the place? It starts with an injury, goes to Border 2, then jumps to a rom-com with a confusing title. Focus on one story please.

"Hai Jawani Toh Ishq Hona Hai" sounds like a fun movie, but releasing a patriotic war film and a lighthearted romance back-to-back is quite a range for Varun! All the best to him.

So much respect for actors who go through real pain for their art. It's not all glamour. Wishing him a speedy recovery from any lingering issues. The BTS clips these days are so revealing!
