Actor Varun Dhawan has come under fire from Congress MP Abhishek Singhvi over a promotional video for the upcoming film Border 2, in which Dhawan appears in a Border Security Force (BSF) uniform. Singhvi publicly criticised the clip, saying it was disrespectful to the men and women who wear the uniform and guard the nation. In a social media message accompanying a video clip from the film’s promotions, Singhvi wrote: “BSF uniform is not a prop.” He criticised what he described as an insensitive portrayal, saying such depictions can demean those who serve in uniform.
Congress MP slams Varun Dhawan for “demeaning” BSF uniform ahead of Border 2 release: “Stop this clownery”
The video in question shows Dhawan wearing a camouflage BSF shirt and cap in a light-hearted promotional moment meant to engage audiences ahead of Border 2’s release on January 23, 2026. No official response from Dhawan or the film’s team had been issued at the time of publication.
The Border 2 promotional clip gained attention both for Dhawan’s appearance and for the reaction it drew from political voices. Some viewers took to social platforms to echo Singhvi’s concerns, while others argued that the actor’s intention was promotional rather than derogatory.
This is shocking, demeaning and a complete mockery of the BSF. Jawans parading in sacred uniform while Bollywood actors arrive like kings in a jeep for a movie promotion.
The BSF uniform is not a prop and patriotism is not pageantry. Stop this clownery and respect those who guard…— Abhishek Singhvi (@DrAMSinghvi) January 16, 2026
Launched as a patriotic action drama, Border 2 stars Sunny Deol, Varun Dhawan, Diljit Dosanjh and Ahan Shetty, and depicts stories inspired by armed forces operations. The film’s narrative, set against historical military contexts, aims to highlight courage and sacrifice, and includes depictions of the Indian Army, Navy and Air Force.
