Varun Dhawan’s journey with ‘Border 2’ has been nothing short of heroic, both on-screen and off. The actor recently shared harrowing details of a set accident that left him with a hairline fracture in his tailbone, yet he pressed on without missing a beat. Filming an explosive fight sequence, Dhawan swerved to avoid hitting the camera, only for his tailbone to bear the brunt against a hard rock surface.
Through an emotional social media post accompanied by unedited shoot footage, Dhawan recounted the pain: ‘Worst pain of my career on Border 2. Dodged the camera, tailbone cracked on rock—hairline fracture I’m still dealing with. Team carried me through; walked with difficulty but completed the journey. Eternally grateful.’
Viewers watching the clip see Dhawan unleash fury on his on-screen foes, unaware of the real battle he was fighting. The revelation has amplified praise for his immersive performance as Major Hoshiyar Singh Dahiya, transforming early criticisms into unanimous acclaim. With domestic collections soaring past 200 crores, ‘Border 2’ stands as a box office juggernaut and a career milestone for Dhawan.
Experts in the field emphasize that such risks are inherent to authentic war dramas, but Dhawan’s choice to continue exemplifies unmatched dedication. His transparency not only humanizes the star but also spotlights the physical toll of cinema. As fans rally with recovery wishes, ‘Border 2’ continues to inspire, blending high-stakes action with stories of real courage that resonate deeply.
