Veer Pahariya is unmarried and has not publicly confirmed a relationship. In the media he has reportedly been linked with actress Sara Ali Khan and, later, with Tara Sutaria, though neither relationship has been formally confirmed by him. He generally keeps his personal life private.

Veer began his creative career in music, launching a Hindi-pop YouTube channel and producing songs, alongside theatre and dance training in India and abroad. He also entered entrepreneurship, co-founding a gaming venture with his brother in 2018.

Before acting, he gained on-set experience working behind the scenes — including as a body-double — on the film Bhediya (2022), which gave him first-hand exposure to film production.
