Veer Pahariya: Bollywood’s fresh face who took flight with ‘Sky Force’

Bollywood is always on the lookout for fresh talent, and 2025 has been no different. Among the new names making waves, Veer Pahariya has stood out—not just for his good looks or industry connections, but for his sheer ability to command the screen. His debut in ‘Sky Force’ wasn’t your typical glamorous launch; it was a powerful performance in a patriotic action drama that left critics and audiences talking.

Most newcomers play it safe with rom-coms or light-hearted roles, but Veer took a risk by stepping into ‘Sky Force’, a gripping war drama based on the Indo-Pakistani air war of 1965. He portrayed Squadron Leader Ajjamada Boppayya Devayya, a lesser-known but legendary figure in Indian military history. It was a role that required intensity, discipline, and emotional depth—qualities that Veer delivered effortlessly.
