Mumbai, Dec 16 (NationPress) As the eagerly awaited war drama "Border 2" teaser was launched on Tuesday, Ahan Shetty took a moment to reflect on his debut film "Tadap", which made its debut in 2021.

Ahan expressed his deep appreciation for the opportunity to work on a significant project like "Border 2".

In his Instagram post, he shared several images from the teaser launch event, stating, "It’s been a long journey since my first film Tadap released four years ago. A journey of patience, growth, and self-belief (sic)."

He further remarked, "Coming back feels deeply personal, and being trusted with a film as powerful as Border 2 is an honour beyond words. Grateful, proud, and ready for what lies ahead."

Wrapping up his post, he added a heartfelt "Jai Hind, Jai Bharat 🇮🇳".

During the event, Ahan shared wise words from his father, actor Suniel Shetty, which guided him throughout his preparations for "Border 2."

He acknowledged that his father’s insights kept him grounded and focused.

Discussing his preparation for the role, Ahan mentioned, “Obviously, physically I had to make some changes. But like Papa said, just be honest. Just be yourself. Not that I am playing myself, but just go out there, enjoy yourself. Don't overthink what others might say. And don't compare it to Border 1. That was crucial.”

He recalled, “In the first couple of days, I was terrified on set. My hands were trembling. Just being part of such a significant film, my film Tadap came 4 years ago, in 2021. I had a long break. So, being able to come on set with Varun, Sunny sir, learning everything, receiving support from my producers, and having a director like Anurag sir was a blessing in disguise. I wouldn't have wanted it any other way.”
