Veer Pahariya, the grandson of Sushilkumar Shinde, the former Chief Minister of Maharashtra, recently made his acting debut in Bollywood with Sky Force, starring his ex-girlfriend Sara Ali Khan, Akshay Kumar and Nimrat Kaur in the lead, where he played the role of Squadron Leader Ajjamada Boppayya Devayya.
In an interview with ABP, Veer hit back at trolls who questioned his privileged background, stating that it is his good fortune to be born into such a family. "Mera sapna hamesha yahi raha hai ki mujhe kalakaar banana hai. Toh ab unhe khush karne liye kya karun? Apne aap ko maar doon aur phirse janam loon?," added Veer
Veer shared that all he can do is work hard with pure dedication for people to believe he deserves to be in the industry, and he chooses to ignore negativity like this. He added, "It’s possible that one is spreading hate because they haven’t watched the film yet. So I can’t say anything to you. Maybe I haven’t been able to reach the hearts of the audience in this film, but I might win their hearts with my next film. So I’ll try my best to turn this hatred into love."`
Veer's hookstep from the Sky Force song Rang has gone viral on social media, with fans creating hilarious memes around it. Reacting to the same, the actor shared he is not affected by the memes and shared that he takes it in a positive light.
