On Thursday, at the Border 2 success press conference, Sunny expressed gratitude to his fans for their love and continued support. One of the reporters praised Sunny's remarkable return to the spotlight, addressing him as Sunny Deol 2.0.

At this, Sunny said, “Itne saal pata nahi kahan chupa hua tha (I don't know where it was hiding all these years). It's really sweet. I just want to say this to everyone -- work hard, love your profession, don't get disheartened, and time is something you never know when it will come and when it will go, but you should be ready for it).”

He credited his late father-actor Dharmendra and God's grace for all the success he has achieved. "Yeh sab mere papa ki blessings and Waheguru di meher hai (These are all because of my papa's blessing and God's grace)...The people loved me before as well, and they are loving me even today. Wherever I go, I receive so much love," he added.
