Diljit Dosanjh revisits early 'Border' memories while 'Border 2' earns strong numbers and positive reactions

Diljit Dosanjh opened up on how fate brought him from desire of watching the original Border to starring in its sequel.

In an Instagram clip posted by the 42-year-old actor’s team, the singer recalled the release of Border in 1997 and said, when Border first released, many people around him watched it, but he couldn’t afford to watch.

He stated, "My family also didn’t give me any money for it, but even they didn’t have much, so how could they spare it? I really wanted to watch the film then. Little did I know that I would get the chance to be in the film one day."

Talking about his role in Border 2, he said, “Nirmal Jit Singh Sekhon ji’s character, what a wonderful character! If you have never read about him, some people know about him, but you should definitely read and understand his life."

Based on the latest reports of Sacnilk, the Border 2 opened well at the box office, with collections of nearly Rs 30 crore on day one in India.

After being released yesterday, the war drama quickly created a buzz online, with viewers praising it. The cast has also acknowledged the warm response.
