'Border 2 release hone ke kuch dino baad maine taye kiya ki mujhe break lena hai aur main bhaag gaya yahan se. Manali mei tha kuch din, waha baraf giri, waha maza liya. Waha bhi maine Border 2 ka show rakha tha. Wahan ke fauji the, baki log the... (After the release of Border 2, I decided to take a break, and I ran away from here. I was in Manali for a few days, it snowed there, and I enjoyed it. I had a show of Border 2 there, there were soldiers and other people there),' Sunny said.

During the trip, Sunny Deol also visited the location where the shooting of the first 'Border' film took place, as he added, 'Yeh puri journey mei, main dhabe pe ruka, alag alag hotels mei ruka. Main uss location pe gaya tha jahan Border 1 ki shooting hui thi. Bahut acha laga. (In this journey, wherever I went, I stayed at dhabas, in different hotels.

'Pichli baar I went to Chambal, wahan maine Dacait ki shooting ki thi. Fir main Datia gaya, wahan maine Yatim ki shooting kit hi... Bahana milta hai jaane ka because waha chize waise hi hai jaise waqt thama hua hai. Jahan jahan gaya tha, logon ne film dekhi thi. Bahut pyaar mil raha tha...acha lag raha tha (I often go there. Last time I went to Chambal. I shot Dacait there. Then I went to Datia, where I shot Yatim. It was an excuse to go there because things are still the same. I think time has stopped. But wherever I went, I met people. Everyone had seen the movie. I was getting a lot of love, I was feeling good,' he said.
