Varun Dhawan turned emotional advocate for military honor, visiting the family of PVC recipient Major Hoshiyar Singh Dahiya just days before ‘Border 2’ hits theaters. The actor’s low-key trip to the hero’s ancestral village highlighted his respect for the soldier whose 1971 exploits form the crux of his character.
Dressed simply and away from media glare, Dhawan spent quality time reminiscing about Dahiya’s fearless stand against Pakistani forces. The family shared personal anecdotes, rare photos, and mementos, forging a bond that transcends the script. ‘Varun listened like a son,’ one relative shared, praising his humility.
This isn’t mere publicity—it’s a nod to authenticity in an industry often criticized for glorification. ‘Border 2’ boasts advanced VFX, intense war sequences, and a narrative rooted in declassified accounts. Sunny Deol’s return as Major Vikram Singh adds nostalgia, while Dhawan’s fresh energy injects youth appeal.
Social media erupted with praise, trending #VarunMeetsDahiyaFamily. The film’s producers lauded the initiative, signaling deeper research into military lore. As Bollywood embraces biopics, Dhawan’s move sets a benchmark, ensuring ‘Border 2’ resonates as tribute over entertainment. Expect box-office fireworks when it releases, fueled by such genuine patriotism.
