The “Shetty Family” & Varun Dhawan React

The post quickly caught the attention of the Border 2 team, who flooded the comments section:

Varun Dhawan: The actor, who has been trending for his own “viral smile” memes lately, replied with a simple, “Haa bhai!” * Ahan Shetty: Suniel Shetty’s son, who is making a massive career leap with this film, commented, “Lots of love bhai.”

Suniel Shetty: The veteran actor, whose legacy Ahan is carrying forward in the sequel, added, “Ye hui na baat” (That’s the spirit!).

KL Rahul’s “Brother-in-Law” Challenge

Rashid isn’t the only cricketer supporting the film. Earlier this week, KL Rahul shared a video of his cricket practice with a playful condition:

“Agar Ahan Shetty ne iss video par comment kiya, toh main Border 2 do baar dekhunga.” (If Ahan Shetty comments on this, I’ll watch it twice.)

Ahan upped the ante, replying, “Bhai.. do baar nahi, chaar baar dekhna padega!” (Brother, not twice, you’ll have to watch it four times!).
