Dhawan took to social media to post raw footage of the moment, opening up candidly about the ordeal. ‘Border 2 gave me my most brutal injury yet,’ he wrote. ‘Tailbone hit a rock while saving the shot—hairline fracture, insane pain, still healing. My team’s support got me through; barely mobile but we didn’t stop. Thankful for every bit of this ride.’
The video, pulsing with adrenaline, shows Dhawan locked in combat, his every move now a testament to his professionalism. The post has sparked an outpouring of support from fans worldwide, who are hailing his portrayal in the film as career-defining.
