Riteish Deshmukh Books ‘Border 2’ Tickets After Ahan Shetty’s Comment, Shares a Hilarious Video Appeal

Ahead of the theatrical release of the much-awaited war drama ‘Border 2’, actor Riteish Deshmukh joined a viral social media trend in his own humorous style, leaving fans thoroughly entertained. The trend, centered around actor Ahan Shetty, has taken Instagram by storm, with users claiming they would watch Border 2 only if Ahan commented on their posts.

Taking cue from the trend, Riteish shared a funny video on his official Instagram handle. Seated in his car and flashing exaggerated expressions, the actor is seen making a playful request: “Ahan Shetty, please comment!” The caption added to the humor, as Riteish wrote that he was eagerly waiting for Ahan’s comment so he could finally book his ticket for Border 2, joking that he was “desperate” to watch the film.

The video quickly grabbed attention—and the wish was soon fulfilled. Ahan Shetty responded with a heartfelt comment, expressing gratitude and respect for Riteish. He wrote that Riteish had always supported him unconditionally and thanked him sincerely for his encouragement throughout his journey. Actor Suniel Shetty also joined the interaction, affectionately addressing Riteish as “Ritz” and adding a red heart emoji.

Following Ahan’s comment, Riteish happily confirmed that he was now booking his ticket for the film, bringing the viral moment to a cheerful close.

The trend itself traces back to a fan interaction, which Ahan had earlier spoken about in an interview. A fan had once promised to sponsor movie tickets for her friends and family if Ahan commented on her reel. Instead, Ahan offered to book the tickets himself—an exchange that sparked the now-popular trend across social media, later followed by several celebrities including cricketer KL Rahul.

‘Border 2’, which released in cinemas on Friday, January 23, features Ahan Shetty in the role of a naval officer. The film holds special significance for him, as his father Suniel Shetty was part of the iconic original Border. The film also stars Sunny Deol, Varun Dhawan, and Diljit Dosanjh in pivotal roles, and has already generated strong buzz at the box office.

With celebrities and fans alike joining in the fun, the Ahan Shetty comment trend has added a light-hearted promotional boost to Border 2, proving once again how social media and cinema now go hand in hand.
