Making his debut with the high-octane war drama Sky Force, Veer Pahariya has already garnered attention for his heartfelt performance. But when it comes to sharing screen space with Bollywood’s action legend, Akshay Kumar, Veer has nothing but praises for the superstar.
In a recent conversation, Veer opened up about his experience of working with Akshay, saying, “Akshay Kumar is a great actor, known for his discipline, fitness, and, of course, his iconic uniform look. No one pulls off a uniform better than him! It was my great fortune to share screen space with him and to wear the uniform myself, playing his junior in the film. It was a humbling experience.”
Veer, who portrays a crucial role in Sky Force, a gripping story revolving around India’s first air strike on Pakistan, expressed that sharing the screen with Akshay was an unforgettable moment in his budding career.
But it's not just about the accolades for Veer; the young actor has had to face setbacks and criticisms, both on and off screen. Reflecting on how he has dealt with challenges, he said, “I’ve faced a lot of backlash in my life, and now when people compliment me, I still don’t know how to react. I’ve trained my mind to not take trolling or compliments too seriously. The key is to believe in yourself, and give yourself that assurance when things get tough. It’s not always easy to talk to yourself, but self-belief is what gets you through.”
As for his future in acting, Veer is determined to make a name for himself by taking on diverse and challenging roles. “I want to portray characters that allow me to explore new dimensions as an actor,” he said. “I don’t want to be typecast into one kind of role. I’m here to surprise everyone, and I’m excited for what the future holds.”
With this refreshing mindset and respect for the veterans in the industry, Veer Pahariya is on the path to creating his own unique space in Bollywood. Fans can’t wait to see what’s next for this promising debutante!
