Bollywood actor Janhvi Kapoor’s boyfriend and Sky Force actor Veer Pahariya’s twin brother Shikhar Pahariya is making headlines for his befitting reply to a casteist troll. Shikhar took to his Instagram stories and slammed a netizen who commented ‘Tu toh Dalit hai’ on his Diwali 2024 post. The picture shows Shikhar with his furry friends extending wishes on the festive occasion.
Taking to his Instagram stories, Shikhar Pahariya wrote, "It’s honestly pathetic that in 2025, there are still people like you with such a small, backward mindset. Diwali is a festival of light, progress, and unity—concepts that are clearly beyond your limited intellect. India’s strength has always been in its diversity and inclusivity, something you clearly fail to grasp. Maybe instead of spreading ignorance, you should focus on educating yourself, because right now, the only thing truly ‘untouchable’ here is your level of thinking.”
