Ahan Shetty Opens Up About Varun Dhawan’s Support On Border 2 Set: ‘He Guided Me Like An Older Brother’
Actor Ahan Shetty has expressed his heartfelt gratitude to Varun Dhawan for the support and encouragement he received while filming the upcoming war drama Border 2. The young actor revealed how Varun’s humility, warmth, and constant guidance made a big impact on his journey during the shoot.
Ahan Shares Emotional Note After Wrapping Amritsar Schedule
On Monday, Ahan took to Instagram to share a video from his last shooting day in Amritsar, Punjab, where he is seen hugging Varun and other crew members. Alongside, he penned a heartfelt note thanking Varun for his invaluable support.
"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,” Ahan wrote.
‘Kindness, Humility, and Heart’
Ahan further praised Varun for the values he brings beyond his stardom. “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,” he added.
Reflecting on the experience, the Tadap actor said, “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.”
