Veer, with a lineage linked to an illustrious Indian politician, is not just a face on the screen; he is a force to be reckoned with, a promise of new beginnings and captivating performances.
But wait, who is Veer Pahariya, you ask?
Born on February 1, 1995, Veer Pahariya is gearing up to become a shining force in the new era of Bollywood. And this rising star is not just a boy with a pretty face.

Coming from a lineage steeped in political significance, Veer Pahariya and Sushil Kumar Shinde share a close bond, being the renowned politician’s maternal grandson. Even with the separation of his parents, Smruti Shinde and Sanjay Pahariya, in 2008, his family ties remain significant. In this intricate family tree, Shikhar, Veer’s versatile sibling, explores real estate ventures and hotel construction, contributing to the family dynamics. Another dimension to this political story is his aunt, Praniti Shinde, a prominent figure in the Legislative Assembly. But even with such an impressive political background, Veer has different plans as he aims not just to steal the limelight but to leave an indelible mark on the silver screen.
Venturing beyond the expected path, Veer’s journey from political corridors to Bollywood’s glitzy realm is a cinematic plotline.

From majoring in international relations with a theater minor in the US to graduating in finance and management from the UK, Veer’s educational journey is sure to mirror the diversity of his roles on the big screen.
Not content with the ordinary, Veer’s professional journey is a rollercoaster of experiences. Starting as an intern under an Oscar-winning sound engineer, Resul Pookutty, he dived into the entertainment world with the Bloomberg TV show “The Outsider.” But it is not just about sound engineering; this stint was a transformative dive into the intricate world of storytelling through visuals and sounds. Following this collaboration, Veer’s dedication to the art of storytelling took on another dimension with the launch of his YouTube music channel. Fueled by inspiration and knowledge gained from working alongside a master in the field, Veer embarked on creating content that goes beyond traditional boundaries.
Switching gears like a pro, Veer also took on the role of a sales intern at Mumbai Duty-Free — LVMH, adding business acumen to his skill set. Beyond the glitz of Bollywood, Veer is a musical sensation, effortlessly strumming the guitar and piano. And what seems fascinating is that he did not have a formal musical education, underscoring his innate talent honed through passion. Adding a unique dimension to his versatile profile, he achieves these musical heights without any formal training, highlighting his exceptional musical aptitude. His professional journey in the music domain also entails a stint at the renowned Viacom 18, a giant in the Indian entertainment scene. Initially involved in crafting music for advertisements, he quickly broadened his musical skills to embrace the grandeur of movies and the captivating narratives of web shows.
Before making his mark as an actor, Veer played the behind-the-scenes game of filmmaking.
Rocking both the role of an assistant director and doubling up as Varun Dhawan in “Bhediya,” Veer showcases his versatility and unwavering dedication to the craft. But hold onto your hats – conquering the big screen was not the end of the story! The dynamic duo, Veer Pahariya and Shikhar Pahariya, teamed up to co-found ‘Indiawyn,’ an entertainment and gaming powerhouse. It is not just about acting; he is a creative entrepreneur on a roll!
