"No ego, no airs, just pure warmth. - Ahan Shetty"

Mumbai, July 28

Ahan Shetty has opened up about the support he received from Varun Dhawan while filming “Border 2.”

The young actor shared that Varun regularly checked in on him during the shoot, offering encouragement and guidance that made a big difference on set. On Monday, Ahan took to his Instagram handle and posted a video from his last shooting day in Amritsar, Punjab. Alongside, he penned a heartfelt note thanking Dhawan for his support and guidance. In his caption, Suniel Shetty's son mentioned that Varun Dhawan's kindness, humility, and the heart he brings truly set him apart.

Sharing a video where Ahan is seen hugging Varun and other crew members, he wrote, "That's a wrap for me in Amritsar and my last day shooting with VD. It's hard to put into words what this journey has meant to me, because it's been more than just work. It's been growth, learning, laughter, and memories I'll carry for life. From the very first day on set, VD made me feel at home. No ego, no airs, just pure warmth. He guided me, checked in on me without being asked, and supported me in a way only an older brother would. It takes someone truly secure and generous to do that and that's exactly who he is."

"He's one of the biggest stars we have, but beyond the cameras, lights, and stardom, it's the kindness, the humility, and the heart he brings that truly sets him apart. I've learnt more by just being around him."

The 'Tadap' actor went on to state, "Watching how he carries himself, how he treats people, it sets him apart. This experience has changed me and a big part of that is because of him. Grateful doesn't even begin to cover it. Thank you brother. This one will stay with me. On to the next one... Next sched is a BIG ONE #BORDER2 - January 23, 2026."

The upcoming war drama "Border 2," directed by Anurag Singh, also features Sunny Deol in a key role. The film is produced by Bhushan Kumar, Krishan Kumar, J.P. Dutta, and Nidhi Dutta and is presented by Gulshan Kumar and T-Series in collaboration with J.P. Dutta's J.P. Films.

The film is set to release in theatres on January 23, 2026.

Varun Dhawan proves again why he's one of the most loved stars. But I hope Ahan gets his own identity beyond being "Suniel Shetty's son". The nepotism debate continues... 🤔

Border 2 with Sunny Deol and now this bromance! My excitement just went through the roof. Jai Hind! 🚩 These army movies always give me goosebumps. Hope they do justice to our soldiers' sacrifices.

As someone from Amritsar, I'm so proud they shot here! Our city has so much history and culture to offer. Hope they showed the real spirit of Punjab in the film ❤️

While the camaraderie is nice, I hope the film focuses more on substance than star power. The original Border was iconic - hope they don't ruin the legacy with unnecessary masala.

Varun's humility is what makes him special! In Bollywood where egos clash, his down-to-earth nature is refreshing. Also, Ahan's gratitude shows good upbringing. More such positive stories please! 😊
