Mumbai (Maharashtra) [India], January 19 : Actor Ahan Shetty has reflected on his "quiet struggles" and "lessons" ahead of the release of his second film 'Border 2'.
Taking to his Instagram handle, Ahan shared glimpses from both of his films, offering fans a look at his character. In his caption, the actor shared, "December 3, 2021... Tadap, my first film. The beginning of a dream I stepped into with hope, fear, and everything in between. What followed tested me deeply....Periods of uncertainty, quiet struggles, and lessons that only time and patience can teach. Growth rarely comes without pain, and every moment shaped who I am today. I'm grateful for all of it."

Speaking on his upcoming movie 'Border 2', Ahan added, "A new chapter born from patience, perseverance, and belief. With a fuller heart, steadier faith, and the same dream, now stronger than ever. I hope you'll stand with us, experience this journey, and support this film from the heart. It would mean more than words can express."
Reacting to the post, fans extended their best wishes for Ahan, while his 'Tadap' co-star Tara Sutaria wrote, "You will shine!"
Ahan Shetty's reflective observations came days after his father, actor Suniel Shetty, got emotional sharing his journey.
"After his first film, there was a little break. Our lives are sometimes hit by a certain turmoil. Everyone thinks that he is Suniel Shetty's son and receives a lot of work. But there's a lot that he went through in life, but I am so happy he received a film like 'Border 2'", Shetty said at the song launch of 'Jaate Hue Lamhon'.
Ahan Shetty, who carries forward his father Suniel Shetty's iconic legacy in 'Border 2', is being showered with immense love across the internet.
Directed by Anurag Singh, the second instalment of the iconic film brings back Sunny Deol as the main lead, with Varun Dhawan, Diljit Dosanjh and Ahan Shetty joining him to fight the enemies.
"Inspired by the true events of the 1971 India-Pakistan War", the trailer opens the door to the powerful world of Border 2 and what happens when India's Army, Navy, and Air Force come together to fight as one.
'Border 2' is produced by Gulshan Kumar and T-Series in association with JP Dutta's JP Films. The movie will hit the big screens ahead of Republic Day on January 23.
