Varun Dhawan is awaiting the release of his much-anticipated war drama, Border 2, and while his fans are super excited to see him in the role of a military man, the actor recently faced social media scrutiny

\n\n

as he was criticised and called not apt for the role. Amid this, the wife of Colonel Hoshiar Singh Dahiya, the real-life war hero Varun Dhawan portrays in the film, blessed the actor, which comes as a huge relief for him.

\n\n

While videos of Colonel Hoshiar Singh Dahiya’s wife blessing Varun had already surfaced on social media, the actor himself has now shared a series of pictures meeting Dhano Devi Ji and the colonel’s entire family. While sharing the post, Varun wrote, “Deeply honoured to meet PVC Hoshiar Singh Dahiya’s wife Smt. Dhano Devi Ji and his son Colonel Sushil Kumar Dahiya. Receiving their blessings to carry forward the legacy of PVC Hoshiar Singh Dahiya is an incredible honour. I am truly and deeply grateful. Jai Hind \uD83C\uDDEE\uD83C\uDDF3”

Colonel Hoshiar Singh’s Wife Praised Varun Dhawan

In the video, shared by a paparazzi account on Instagram, Colonel Hoshiar Singh Dahiya’s wife was seen smiling warmly as she blessed Varun by touching his head. Praising his performance, she said, “Tumne bahot badhiya kiya hai. Bahot badhiya, shabash! Film bahot achi chalegi (You have done a great job, very good, bravo! The film is going to do really well).” Varun, visibly moved, bends down respectfully and thanks her for the gesture. The moment quickly spread across social media, with many calling it a powerful endorsement that went beyond box office talk.
