I began looking up to our armed forces, and to this day, I salute how they protect us and keep us safe, be it on our borders or during natural calamities.
JP Dutta sir’s war epic remains one of my favourite movies to this day. Playing a part in Border 2 produced by J P sir and Bhushan Kumar is a very special moment in my career. And I get to work with Sunny Paaji, my hero, which makes it all the more special.
