Online trolling has become a huge problem and is growing rapidly with the rise of social media. It’s especially tough for newcomers, like actors making their debut, who are suddenly exposed to a massive audience and its often harsh judgments. Recently, Veer Pahariya, who made his debut with Sky Force, experienced this firsthand. In an exclusive interview with Hauterrfly’s On A Date With hosted by Janvi Manchanda, he spoke out about the intense trolling he faced after a video of his hook step from the film went viral.

Veer Pahariya On Trolling

Veer Pahariya said, “I love it; I live for it. My whole life I’ve looked up to actors who get trolled and who have lookalikes, and they become a meme. I have become a meme; can you imagine? I’m immortalised with this dance. Who knew me 20 days ago? Now if I do langdi here, they will recognise me.”

He also shared his thoughts on becoming a meme for his hook step, “I’ll say this for the first time. Since my song came out and since it went viral and got trolled, my engagement has increased so much that so many doors and avenues have opened up for me after that. I’ve already performed at two weddings. I did that langdi step with the bride. He further joked with the groom saying, ‘This is my fifth round. If I do two more, the bride will be mine.’ But everything is like, so many work opportunities have opened because people now know who I am. I’ve got a hit song. I’ve got weddings, which is every actor’s dream—to be able to dance and perform at weddings. To those who are trolling, I will please wish that they troll even more so that I get even more weddings. And I earn money.”
