She had also reposted a report by Pinkvilla whose headline read, “Kartik Aaryan was never approached for Border 2; ‘Its a baseless rumor,’ confirms official source.” The report stated, “In response to the ongoing speculations, T-Series and Nidhi Dutta’s sources have refuted the claims of approaching Kartik Aaryan for Border 2. These rumors are baseless and lack any factual basis. The film’s supporters are urged to dismiss such misinformation and trust only authentic updates from official sources.”
Border has won three National Film Awards for Best Film on National Integration, Best Lyricist to Gulzar for Sandese Aate Hain, and Best Playback Singer – Male to Hariharan for Mere Dushman Mere Bhai. The film’s soundtrack is considered as one of the finest albums by Anu Malik.
