A fan replied that Suniel is one of his biggest motivations. This user wrote that he was motivated to join the army due to Suniel’s character in the film Border.
Sir, you are also a great source of motivation for all of us. One of the strong reason which motivated me to join Army was your role in Border Movie. You too have contributed many officers to Army by your motivation.
