“That’s a wrap for me in Amritsar and my last day shooting with VD. It’s hard to put into words what this journey has meant to me, because it’s been more than just work. It’s been growth, learning, laughter, and memories I’ll carry for life,” Ahan wrote in his heartfelt message.

He continued to praise co-star Varun Dhawan, calling him a mentor and an elder brother on set. “From the very first day on set, VD made me feel at home. No ego, no airs, just pure warmth. He guided me, checked in on me without being asked, and supported me in a way only an older brother would. It takes someone truly secure and generous to do that and that’s exactly who he is. He’s one of the biggest stars we have, but beyond the cameras, lights, and stardom, it’s the kindness, the humility, and the heart he brings that truly sets him apart.”

Acknowledging the impact this experience had on him, Ahan added, “I’ve learnt more by just being around him. Watching how he carries himself, how he treats people, it sets him apart. This experience has changed me and a big part of that is because of him. Grateful doesn’t even begin to cover it. Thank you brother. This one will stay with me.”

He ended the note by teasing the upcoming shoot: “On to the next one… Next sched is a BIG ONE ????????”. Varun Dhawan responded warmly to the message, writing, “Brother will misss u here only upwards and beyond for u meraaa bhai.”
