Grandson of former Maharashtra CM Sushilkumar Shinde, Veer Pahariya recently made his much-awaited Bollywood debut with Akshay Kumar starrer Sky Force. While a section of the internet has been busy trolling him, he has been taking everything sportingly. In the midst of it all, he has now found himself in controversy. On Tuesday evening, RJ Pranit More’s team took to Instagram to share the shocking news of the Marathi comedian being physically assaulted by the actor’s men for making jokes on the actor.

Shocked at the turn of events, Pahariya immediately responded to the allegations in the comment section of the post. He also took to his Instagram story, to deny his involvement in the attack. Apologising to Pranit and his fans, Veer promised to hold the ones responsible accountable for their actions.

A part of his story reads, “I want to make it absolutely clear—I had no involvement in this, and I strongly condemn any form of violence. As someone who has always taken trolling in stride, laughed along with it, and shown love even to my critics, I would never encourage or support harm towards anyone, let alone someone from the same creative fraternity.”

For those who don’t know, Pranit More’s team took to Instagram on Tuesday evening and shed light on the physical assault. They alleged that 11-12 men attacked the Marathi comedian and threatened him for cracking a joke on Pahariya. They quoted one of the men saying, “Agli baae Veer Pahariya baba pe joke maarke dikha!” The attack happened on the evening of February 2, after his stand-up show at 24K Kraft Brewzz, Solapur.
