Bollywood newcomer Veer Pahariya has caught the eye of critics with the critics questioning his privileged background and easy access to the industry. However, the young actor isn't shying away from addressing the backlash. In a recent interview, while being questioned for the same the actor lashed out with a bold retort: "Apne aap ko maar doon, phirse janam loon?"
He went on, "I can only work hard and with complete dedication so that everyone believes I deserve to be in this field. Thus, negativity doesn't seem to me this way. One can be inciting hatred because they haven't seen the movie yet. Thus, I am unable to speak to you. Perhaps I haven't been able to win over the audience's hearts with this film, but I might with my next one. I'll do all in my power to transform this hatred into love."
Who is Veer Pahariya?
Veer Pahariya is a rising Bollywood actor and the grandson of Sushil Kumar Shinde, the former chief minister of Maharashtra. He is also Shikhar Pahariya's brother, who is well-known for his relationship with Janhvi Kapoor. Alongside Akshay Kumar, Veer will make his Bollywood debut in Sky Force. Having come from a wealthy and powerful political family, he has come under fire for taking advantage of nepotism.
About his recent movie
The 1965 Indo-Pak War raid on the Sargodha airfield in Pakistan, which is regarded as India's first airstrike, served as the inspiration for the action movie Sky Force. In addition to Veer Pahariya and Akshay Kumar, Sara Ali Khan and Nimrat Kaur play important parts in the movie. Within eight days of its release, the film, which was directed by Abhishek Anil Kapur and Sandeep Kewlani, received a favourable reception and brought in ₹104 crore at the domestic box office, according to the producers.
The debate has undoubtedly been triggered by Veer Pahariya's strong response to those who criticize nepotism. Even though he comes from a wealthy family, his ability and commitment will ultimately define how successful he is in Bollywood.
