Anil Sharma's recent directorial, 'Gadar 2,' made a significant impact at the box office, breaking records. The film brought back the iconic pairing of Sunny Deol and Ameesha Patel in their respective roles as Tara and Sakina. Notably, it introduced their grown-up son, Jeete, portrayed by Utkarsh Sharma. However, there were reports that Ameesha expressed dissatisfaction with Utkarsh's performance, suggesting that the focus on his character didn't succeed as Tara and Sakina stole the 'limelight'. 

Expressing his confusion on why she would make such a comment, Utkarsh told India TV that Ameesha's comments are 'unfounded and useless'. He believes that actors can leave a significant impact with even a single scene in a film, and he is grateful for all the love he is receiving from fans and audience for 'Gadar 2.'

Soon after the film was released, Ameesha, in an interview said, "I feel bad for Anil ji since he tried to push his son Utkarsh a lot in Gadar 2, but eventually, Tara and Sakina stole the limelight". Reacting to this, Utkarsh told India TV, "Yeh toh bahot useless comment hai...Unke baare mein kya kahun, voh kuch bhi kehti hain, unko hum bhi seriously nahi lete, na hi public unko seriously leti hain, toh unke comments unfounded hain... hume bahot pyaar mill raha hai, voh apne kam pe dhyan rakhe and unko best wishes dete hain hum, voh dusro ke liye bhi best wishes de toh behtar hoga. ("This is a useless comment...What can I say about her? She says whatever she wants, and we don't take them seriously. The public doesn't take her seriously either, so her comments are unfounded... We are receiving a lot of love, and we wish them well in their work. It would be better if she also extend her best wishes to others.)"
