On Monday, Esha took to Instagram and shared pictures from the Border 2 screening. In one of the photographs, she is seen posing with Sunny Deol and her sister Ahana Deol. The second picture shows Esha posing with Sunny’s poster from Border 2. Alongside the pictures, she wrote, “Border 2 अपने परिवार और दोस्तों के साथ ज़रूर देखिए (do watch the film with your friends and family). We watched the film last night @iamsunnydeol you are the best 💪🏼 Shout out to @ahan.shetty @varundvn @diljitdosanjh @nidhiduttaofficial — fantastic. Salute.”

She also reacted to her late father, actor Dharmendra, being honoured with the Padma Vibhushan and wrote, “Happy Republic Day 🇮🇳 Really happy that our papa is being conferred with the prestigious Padma Vibhushan Award.”

At the Border 2 screening, Sunny put rumours of a family rift to rest by posing with his sisters, Esha and Ahana. Ever since Dharmendra’s death, there had been rumours of a strained relationship between Sunny and Bobby and Hema Malini’s family. The rumours began after Hema Malini and Sunny’s family held two separate prayer meetings for the late veteran actor. However, Hema had dismissed any reports of a rift between the two families, and the Border 2 screening marked the first time Sunny was spotted in public with his sisters since the death of their father, Dharmendra, in November last year.
