Veer Pahariya new to acting, but not to Bollywood 

While Sky Force marks the actor’s first Hindi film, it is most certainly not his stepping stone in the industry. The actor has, directly or indirectly, worked in Bollywood. He was an assistant director in the Varun Dhawan starrer film Bhediya. Not just this, he also played the role of a body double for Dhawan in the film.

In an interview with Filmfare, the Kedarnath actress confirmed the link up by saying, “He’s [Veer Pahariya] the only one I have dated. I have had no other boyfriends in my life.” Moreover, Veer Pahariya’s elder brother Shikhar Pahariya is rumoured to be dating Janhvi Kapoor. Interestingly, Janhvi Kapoor took to her Instagram stories to share the teaser of Sky Force and expressed that she cannot wait for the film’s release.
