Veer on his parents’ separation

Given Veer's family status, his parents' separation was widely covered by the media leaving a lasting impact on him. In an interview with Siddharth Kannan, Veer stated, "It’s not good for any child when their parents separate. Back then, there wasn’t social media or any way for me to understand what was happening. It was a very strange experience growing up. Newspapers were constantly publishing details about their court proceedings, and everything was on the internet. I felt ashamed to go to school and didn’t have many friends. I stayed away from people and was very nervous and underconfident as a child. I wish it doesn’t happen to anyone.”

On taking therapy

Veer also spoke about how therapy helped him cope with the dynamics at home. "I think we all go through trauma at some point in life, and we should talk about it. For me, therapy and acting workshops have helped a lot. I still believe in love and marriage,” he said.

Veer’s relationship with his father

 Veer also stated that his parents did their responsibilities well and his relationship with his father. "I didn’t see my father much, but we are very close now. My parents always played their roles as parents well, even though they weren’t great as husband and wife. But I never felt their absence as parents."
