Varun Dhawan, Ahan Shetty and Sonu Nigam Join Indian Soldiers for a Soulful Jam on ‘Ghar Kab Aaoge’

Mumbai: Ever since the makers of Border 2 unveiled the song “Ghar Kab Aaoge”, the track has struck a deep emotional chord with audiences. The patriotic number has not only resonated with music lovers across the country but has also found special appreciation among Indian soldiers.

Recently, actors Varun Dhawan and Ahan Shetty, along with celebrated singer Sonu Nigam—who has lent his voice to the song—were seen sharing a heartfelt musical moment with Indian soldiers. In a video circulating on social media, the group is seen singing “Ghar Kab Aaoge” together, with one soldier playing the harmonium and another accompanying on the dholak. The clip was captioned simply as “ghar”, capturing the emotion at the heart of the song.

Earlier, Sonu Nigam had spoken about the personal significance of being part of the track, describing it as a deeply emotional experience and a sense of homecoming. The singer also shared the song on his official Instagram handle, dedicating it to Indian soldiers and their families.

In a heartfelt note, Nigam wrote, “Some songs aren’t just melodies; they are emotions that belong to the soul of our nation. Being a part of this song for Border 2 felt like a beautiful homecoming. It is rare for an artist to relive such magic, and I feel truly blessed that this journey continues. This one is for our brave soldiers and the families waiting for them.”

The song draws emotional lineage from the iconic “Sandese Aate Hai” from the 1999 war classic Border, which was sung by Sonu Nigam and Roopkumar Rathod. The original track, picturised on Sunny Deol, Suniel Shetty, Akshaye Khanna and Jackie Shroff, featured lyrics by Javed Akhtar and music composed by Anu Malik.

For Border 2, the composition has been reimagined by Mithoon, with fresh lyrics penned by Manoj Muntashir Shukla, while retaining the emotional core that made the original unforgettable.

Directed by Anurag Singh and produced by Bhushan Kumar, Krishan Kumar, J.P. Dutta and Nidhi Dutta, Border 2 is scheduled for a theatrical release on January 23.
