Shikhar Pahariya, who is rumored to be dating Bollywood actress Janhvi Kapoor, recently made headlines for taking a strong stand against caste discrimination. A social media troll left a casteist comment on one of his old photos, which featured his pet dogs and Janhvi during Diwali celebrations in 2024. The comment referred to his caste, saying, “Lekin tu toh Dalit hai” (But, you’re a Dalit).
