Actor Veer Pahariya, who turned 30 on Saturday, took a nostalgic trip down memory lane, recalling his teenage obsession with Bollywood. In a heartfelt note on Instagram, he shared how, at just 13 years old, he was so inspired by Shah Rukh Khan’s Dard-E-Disco from Om Shanti Om (2007) that he meticulously recreated the song—right down to the six-pack abs.

Veer Pahariya Shares an Old Clip of His Dance Tribute to SRK

Along with his note, Veer posted a video of himself performing Dard-E-Disco, edited with clips of Shah Rukh Khan from the original song.

Revealing how he went all out for the project, he wrote, "I had watched all the videos on the making of #dardedisco - learned the steps, got onto a diet for the six pack, organised the lights, fans, leaves, props, costumes and dancers and shot it on a Sony handycam with the cassette in 1 take because I didn’t know how to edit (movie camera and man dancing emojis). My family had no idea as I didn’t take any money and everything was done with full jugaad."

He further shared that for the fire sequence in the track, he and his friends improvised using household items. "For the last shot with the fire sequence - the room was lit up and we used deodorant to enhance it. We had only one attempt to get it right. Fanaticism of another level (smiling face with horns, face with tears of joy and folded hands emojis). Thank you @iamsrk and @farahkhankunder for changing my life. Last but not the least, Thank you God for making my dreams come true," he concluded.
