Veer Pahariya’s Silence on Nepotism Sparks Debate: Akshay Kumar and Veer Pahariya’s film Sky Force, released on Republic Day, has been performing decently at the box office. However, debutant Veer Pahariya has found himself at the center of controversy, particularly regarding his PR team’s control over his public image.
During a recent interview, Veer was asked about nepotism in Bollywood, but instead of responding, he remained silent. This incident has now made him the subject of trolling, with many questioning whether his PR team dictates his responses.
PR Strategy Backfires?
The controversy erupted when Veer was asked about Karan Johar launching Ibrahim Ali Khan (son of Saif Ali Khan and Amrita Singh). Before he could respond, his PR team intervened, instructing him not to answer. Veer, who seemed initially willing to react, quickly complied, saying he would address the matter another time.
This move didn’t sit well with netizens, who accused him of relying too heavily on PR control.
Social Media Trolls Veer Pahariya
The interview clip soon went viral on Reddit, where users mocked Veer’s dependency on his PR team. One comment read, “Veer is completely controlled by his PR team. He can’t even answer a simple question on his own!” Another sarcastically added, “As if he got this film purely on talent!”
Despite Controversy, ‘Sky Force’ Enters ₹100 Crore Club
Amid the criticism, Sky Force has managed to cross the ₹100 crore mark at the box office. Featuring Sara Ali Khan alongside Akshay Kumar and Veer Pahariya, the film has received positive audience feedback. Veer’s performance, especially his dance moves, has been appreciated despite the nepotism debate surrounding his debut.
