Varun Dhawan on wife Natasha's reaction to Border 2

Varun shared his wife Natasha Dalal’s reaction after watching the film. “She was like... vo hamesha bolti hai, ‘I knew it, you always have it in yourself. Bas tumhe khud ko challenge karna hai.’ Abhi yehi hai ki zyada post mat karo, zyada dikho mat. Zyada bolo mat. Ghar pe bhi bolti hai zyada bolo mat, bahar bhi bolti hai zyada bolo mat. Han Sunny sir aur dharam patni same baat bolte hai (She was like… she always says, ‘I knew it, you always have it in yourself. You just need to challenge yourself. For now, just don’t post too much, don’t be too visible, don’t talk too much.’ At home, she says, ‘Don’t talk too much’, and outside too, 'don’t talk too much.' Yes, Sunny sir and wife say the same thing.)"

In the event, Varun also opened up about actor Salman Khan's reaction to him being trolled before Border 2's release, and then after it did well at the box office. Varun said, “I also want to say, when these things were happening, I got a call from Salman bhai at night, and he was just laughing. He just told me, ‘good things are about to come’. That’s all he told me. His advice and belief meant a lot to me. Later, when Border 2 was released and did so well, he called me again and said he was so happy for all of us. He said, ‘I am proud of you, beta’. That was a very defining moment for me because he doesn’t praise people easily."
