TV industry news has stunned everyone. Veer Sharma, who gained fame on the small screen at a tender age of 10 years, and his older brother Shaurya Sharma perished in a fire in Kota, Rajasthan. Both kids lost their lives due to smoke suffocation. This incident has raised eyebrows.

Veer Sharma was born in Kota. His father, Jitendra Sharma, was a teacher in a well-known coaching institute in the city, while his mother, Rita Sharma, is an actress and has worked in some of the TV shows in Mumbai. Such a creative and educational environment also inclined Veer towards acting. With his innocence on the face and his natural acting skills, he soon gained a foothold in television.

Veer Sharma gained recognition for his portrayal of young Laxman in the mythological show "Veer Hanuman." The innocence in his eyes and dialogue delivery touched the hearts of audiences. Furthermore, he was set to play Saif Ali Khan's childhood character in an upcoming film. He also played the pivotal role of Pushkal in Sony SAB TV's "Srimad Ramayan." Securing one major project after another at such a young age was a testament to Veer's talent.

Veer's elder brother, Shaurya Sharma, was 16 years old and dreamed of becoming an engineer. He was preparing for IIT and was a brilliant student. He often encouraged Veer to study and maintain discipline at home. The two brothers shared a close friendship, and this may have been the reason they breathed their last together.

When the tragedy occurred late Saturday night, both brothers were alone at home. Their father had gone to attend a religious event, and their mother was shooting in Mumbai. At around 2 a.m., a short circuit suddenly caused a fire in the flat's drawing room. Smoke quickly filled the house. Neighbors broke down the door, pulled them both out, and rushed them to the hospital, but by then it was too late.

When Rita Sharma returned to Kota from Mumbai, everyone's eyes filled with tears. Despite this profound grief, her father, Jitendra Sharma, displayed an example of humanity by donating his two sons' eyes. He said, "Even though my children are no longer in this world, their light will bring new light to someone else's life."

This was the beginning of Veer Sharma's life. His future in TV and films looked very bright. People in the industry believed he could become a big star in the future. But fate had other plans. An accident turned a world of dreams and hopes into ashes.
