Border 2 is winning hearts and is running strong at the box office. Recently, Medha Rana, who was seen opposite Varun Dhawan, opened up about her experience of working alongside the actor. She recalled
the moment she was informed about her casting, describing it as one of the most unforgettable days of her life.
In conversation with ANI, Medha Rana opened up about her experience sharing screen space opposite Varun Dhawan. “It was a very interesting experience with Varun. He has been a very sweet, kind and supportive co-actor. I remember when I went on the set for the first time, I was very nervous and scared. But he made sure that I feel comfortable and at ease. He has a habit that you will never feel that he is a star because he makes everyone around him feel comfortable and normal. It was the same with me,” she said.
The actress added, “I went through several rounds of auditions, at least two or three in the first phase. After that, I was called in for a meeting with Mukesh Chhabra sir, the renowned casting director, along with Anurag sir, our director. During that meeting, they both congratulated me and told me that I had been selected for the film. I still remember that day so clearly. I could hardly believe it when I went to meet them. I became very emotional and ended up crying in front of them because it felt completely unreal.”
