Meanwhile, a video of Diljit Dosanjh has gone viral, in which he explains how he could not watch JP Dutta's 1997 film Border in theatres because he did not have enough money.
What's Happening
- In a clip shared by his team, Diljit Dosanjh says, "I remember when the first Border came out-so many people around me went to watch it, but I couldn't because I didn't have the money for it. 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."
- Furthermore, speaking about his character, Flying Officer Nirmal Jit Singh Sekhon, in Border 2, Diljit Dosanjh added, "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."
