During Sky Force’s trailer launch, Veer Pahariya reflected on his experience of working with rumored ex-girlfriend Sara Ali Khan.
Veer Pahariya is all set to make his big acting debut in the Hindi film industry with Akshay Kumar led-Sky Force. Interestingly, the much-buzzed trailer will also be uniting Veer with his rumored ex-girlfriend, Sara Ali Khan.

On January 4, a grand special trailer launch event was held in Mumbai, attended by Akshay Kumar, Veer Pahariya, Dinesh Vijan, and other team members of the film. During the interaction, debutant Veer was asked if it was reassuring to work with Sara Ali Khan, given that they shared a ‘friendship’ in the past.
Before Veer Pahariya could respond to it, Sky Force producer Dinesh Vijan intervened and humorously asked the reporter if the question was about "friendship" or "Stree’s friendship," referring to the popular substitute Rajkummar Rao's character Vicky invokes to refer to his romantic interest in Shraddha Kapoor's character in Stree.
Further reflecting on his experience of working with Sara Ali Khan in Sky Force, Veer stated, "She (Sara) was very sweet. She was very helpful. She has a lot of experience in the industry already. So she did help me a lot, and I'm very grateful. Thank you, Sara."
