Veer Pahariya Opens Up About Sky Force, Akshay Kumar’s Mentorship, and Facing Trolls

Mumbai: Veer Pahariya, who made his Bollywood debut with Sky Force, has been receiving both appreciation and criticism for his role as Squadron Leader T. Krishna Vijaya. While the film has been well-received, a section of social media has targeted him for what they call “easy access” to Bollywood. However, the actor remains unfazed and focused on his journey.

Speaking about the backlash, Veer said, “Not at all, Sir. Being part of a film that pays tribute to a real hero of the 1965 war is an honor. The love I’ve received from audiences overshadows everything else. I have worked tirelessly for over a decade, and people are just now getting to know my story.”

The young actor also shared insights into his rigorous training for the film, which included visiting multiple Air Force bases and undergoing intense physical transformation. “I lost all my body fat, got super lean, and even trained to fly a fighter jet to understand the role better,” he revealed.

Veer also spoke highly of his co-star, Akshay Kumar, who guided him throughout the filming process. “Akshay Sir is a legend. He helped me with action sequences, taught me how to take impact on set, and even gave me tips on dancing for the camera. It was like attending film school,” he said.

Despite facing trolls, Veer remains optimistic. “Initially, people didn’t even know my name at the trailer launch, but now, thanks to all the online discussions, I don’t need to introduce myself anymore,” he quipped.

With Sky Force marking his entry into Bollywood, Veer Pahariya is ready to carve his own path in the industry, proving that hard work speaks louder than criticism.
