Not all heroes wear capes¡ªsome just go viral with a hook step! Veer Pahariya, Bollywood¡¯s latest debutant, has found himself in the meme hall of fame after a dance step from?Sky Force?took the internet by storm. While most actors might cringe at being trolled, Veer is doing quite the opposite¡ªhe¡¯s thriving on it.
In a candid chat, Veer admitted that he¡¯s absolutely loving the internet¡¯s obsession with his now-iconic ¡®langdi step.¡¯ Rather than seeing it as an embarrassment, he sees it as a badge of honor. According to the actor, memes have a way of making performances immortal, and he¡¯s all for the free publicity.
But here¡¯s the real kicker¡ªtrolling has actually been a jackpot for him. Veer revealed that ever since the meme fest began, his engagement has skyrocketed. In fact, the viral moment has landed him some unexpected gigs, including performing at weddings. Yes, you read that right. The?Sky Force?actor has already pulled off his signature move at multiple shaadis, even roping in brides for fun. And in a moment of peak filmy energy, he even joked with a groom mid-performance, claiming he was on his ¡®fifth round¡¯ of the pheras and was just two steps away from stealing the bride. Savage much?
Far from being rattled, Veer is fully leaning into his new ¡®meme star¡¯ identity. He even encouraged more trolling, cheekily wishing for people to keep at it because, well, it¡¯s working wonders for his career. Now that¡¯s how you turn internet chaos into career gold!
Meanwhile,?Sky Force, featuring Akshay Kumar and Veer Pahariya in an adrenaline-packed aviation drama, has soared past the Rs 100 crore mark, making it 2025¡¯s first box office blockbuster. With its high-octane action sequences and a tribute to the real-life hero Squadron Leader Ajjamada Boppayya Devayya, the film is already cementing its place as a must-watch.
