In a move that sent fans into a frenzy, Bollywood actress Tara Sutaria made an unexpected and electrifying appearance on stage during AP Dhillon's recent concert in Mumbai. This surprise comeback came hot on the heels of the duo's energetic performance together in Pune, proving their on-stage chemistry is a major crowd-puller.
The Electrifying Stage Moment
The highlight of the night was when Tara joined the Punjabi-Canadian singer for a live rendition of their chart-topping 2025 hit, 'Thodhi Si Daru'. Sutaria, known for her dancing skills, matched Dhillon's beats effortlessly, creating a memorable and spontaneous moment for every fan in attendance. Her confidence and grace under the concert lights turned the performance into a viral spectacle.
Decoding Tara's Diva Look
For the magical music night, Tara Sutaria opted for a stunning and practical ensemble. She was seen in a thigh-length black dress featuring a sleek neckline and a strategic side slit, allowing her to move and dance with swift ease. The diva elevated the daring dress with minimalist yet elegant jewellery: soft diamond earrings and a sleek bracelet.
Her beauty look was equally glamorous, featuring a dewy base with pink cheek notes and a signature smoky eye. She wore her hair down in soft waves with a mid-parting, completing a look that was perfect for both a high-energy concert performance and a dramatic date night.
Veer Pahariya's Viral 'Jealous' Reaction Steals Spotlight
However, the on-stage magic was rivaled by the off-stage reactions. The camera captured AP Dhillon hugging Tara and planting a friendly kiss on her cheek. It then panned to her longtime boyfriend, businessman Veer Pahariya, in the crowd. Pahariya, often seen with Sutaria at Bollywood events and Christmas parties, was captured looking notably uncomfortable, sparking a wildfire of reactions online.
Veer was dressed casually for the event in a black sweatshirt with minimal button detailing and earthy-toned pants, accessorized with tinted glasses.
Internet Erupts with Mixed Reactions
The clip instantly blew up on social media, with fans and netizens diving into debate. While many defended the moment as a harmless, friendly gesture between performers, others called out perceived double standards. One user commented, "It's just a friendly kiss and hug," while another pointedly stated, "The Internet loves double standards."
Several references were made to actor Aadar Jain, who was previously trolled for seemingly making a jibe at his wife Alekha Advani's ex during his wedding speech. A social media user drew a parallel, writing, "The Internet went mad trolling Aadar Jain... only to discover that Tara Sutaria is no saint. Poor Veer Pahariya!"
Despite the swirl of online trolling and speculation, reports indicate that the couple remains strong and unfazed. In a past interview with Travel + Leisure India, Veer Pahariya himself expressed, "I love that we have embraced our affection and love since our first date and have never shied away from expressing how we feel wherever we are."
The Unforgettable Takeaway
While the internet dissected Veer's expressions, the undeniable focus of the night was Tara Sutaria's show-stopping appearance. Her ability to command the stage, dance with infectious energy, and deliver a powerful vocal performance in a daring outfit solidified her status as a versatile performer. The Mumbai concert will be remembered not just for the music, but for the unexpected drama and dazzling display of talent that unfolded on and off the stage.
