Bollywood actress Ameesha Patel took to social media to praise her Gadar co-star, Sunny Deol, after the release of the trailer for Border 2. She expressed her excitement, mentioning Sunny’s iconic character Tara Singh from Gadar and calling him the pride of India. Ameesha highlighted their past collaboration in the hit movie Gadar: Ek Prem Katha from 2001.
Sunny Deol portrayed the role of Tara Singh, a Sikh truck driver, while Ameesha Patel played Sakina, a conflicted Muslim woman, in the period drama directed by Anil Sharma. The film, set during the 1947 Partition, also starred Amrish Puri and Lillete Dubey in significant roles.
After a gap of two decades, Ameesha and Sunny reunited for Gadar 2, the sequel released in August 2023, continuing the story of Tara and Sakina against the backdrop of India-Pakistan tensions in the 1970s.
