Veer Pahariya made his acting debut with Sky Force, alongside Akshay Kumar and Sara Ali Khan.

Now, AB Devayya's daughter thanked Veer and the Sky Force team, and it left the actor emotional.

He was quoted as saying:

"This is why I chose to be an actor… to spread love, make a difference, and leave a little bit of myself behind in every story."

For the unversed, Squadron Leader AB Devayya was a decorated Air Force officer and the pride of the country. He was also the only Indian Air Force officer to be posthumously awarded the Mahavir Chakra. The brave soldier received the medal for his bravery in the 1965 Indo-Pak War. However, the medal was stolen from the family's home a few years ago. Akshay Kumar and Veer Pahariya got to know about the incident when they were shooting for their film, Sky Force, which was based on India's first airstrike at the Sargodha airbase of Pakistan in the Indo-Pakistani air war of 1965.
