A recent concert performance by actress Tara Sutaria with singer AP Dhillon in Mumbai sparked a social media firestorm, but a new video shared by socialite Orry (Orhan Awatramani) aims to set the record straight. The controversy initially centered on clips that appeared to show Tara's boyfriend, Veer Pahariya, looking uncomfortable as Tara and Dhillon performed an intimate rendition of their song 'Thodi Si Daaru'.
The Viral Controversy and Tara's Allegation
Earlier, videos from AP Dhillon's Mumbai concert went viral, capturing a moment where the singer hugged and kissed Tara Sutaria on stage during their performance. The camera panned to Veer Pahariya, who was in the audience, and his expression was widely interpreted by netizens as one of jealousy and discomfort. The edited clips spread rapidly across social media platforms.
In response, Tara Sutaria took to social media to slam the viral narrative. She shared a PDF file which she claimed contained coordinated talking points sent to content creators and meme pages. Tara alleged this was part of a campaign designed to malign her image, ruin her relationship, and damage her career. She captioned her post, stating, "Clearly seeing people happy hurts those that aren't. Will not stop sharing the truth."
Orry's "Real-Time" Footage Tells a Different Story
Enter Orry, who intervened with what he called "real-time footage" from the same event. On his Instagram, he shared a video that showed a completely different side of the story. In Orry's clip, Veer Pahariya can be seen genuinely grooving and enjoying the performance, smiling and immersed in the music alongside other attendees.
The video further revealed that Veer himself had asked Orry to capture Tara's stage act. Orry's caption took a direct jab at the media narrative: "What the media won't show you. So I will, real-time footage." Both Tara Sutaria and Veer Pahariya endorsed this version of events by reposting the video on their respective Instagram Stories with the simple yet powerful caption, "The Truth!".
Clarifications and Relationship Timeline
Following the initial uproar, the couple had already clarified that Veer's reaction, which was misconstrued, was not related to Tara and AP Dhillon's performance on stage. This latest video from Orry serves as visual proof of their statement.
Tara Sutaria and Veer Pahariya made their relationship Instagram official in August of this year, sharing pictures with affectionate captions. The recent concert controversy was an unexpected test of their public image as a couple, which they seem to have navigated by presenting a united front.
The entire episode highlights how quickly edited social media clips can fabricate a narrative, and the power of counter-evidence in debunking viral myths. It also underscores the intense scrutiny Bollywood personalities face, where a single moment can be amplified and misinterpreted, necessitating public clarifications to protect personal and professional reputations.
