Bollywood actor Tara Sutaria and her boyfriend, businessman Veer Pahariya, have publicly addressed and dismissed viral rumours suggesting Pahariya was jealous of Sutaria's friendly on-stage appearance with singer AP Dhillon. The incident, which unfolded at Dhillon's recent Mumbai concert, sparked a flurry of edited videos and speculation on social media, which the couple has now labelled as a manufactured 'false narrative'.
The On-Stage Moment That Sparked a Frenzy
The controversy began after AP Dhillon's concert in Mumbai, following a similar appearance in Pune. During the performance, Dhillon invited Tara Sutaria to join him on stage. The actor, wearing a black dress, shared a warm hug and a friendly cheek kiss with the singer before they danced together to their collaborative track, 'Thodi Si Daaru'. The song's music video, featuring the pair, was released earlier this year.
While the moment appeared celebratory, attention quickly shifted to the audience, where Veer Pahariya was watching. Clips circulating online allegedly showed Pahariya looking uncomfortable, leading numerous social media users and gossip pages to claim he was jealous of the interaction between his girlfriend and the Punjabi music star.
Couple's Fierce Instagram Clapback
Putting the rumours to rest, Tara Sutaria took to her Instagram handle on December 29, 2025, to share a compiled video of her joyful stage moments with AP Dhillon. Her caption was a powerful dual message of camaraderie and condemnation.
She expressed her enthusiasm, writing, "Loud and proud and in it together!!! @apdhillon FAV!!! What a night! Thank you Mumbai for SO much love for our song and here’s to more music and memories together."
Directly addressing the gossip, she added a pointed postscript: "P.S – False narratives, 'clever editing' and paid PR campaigns by folks won’t and don’t shake us up! In the end, love and the truth always wins. So the joke’s on the bullies." Her statement strongly implies that the viral narrative was a deliberate attempt to create drama.
AP Dhillon showed his support by commenting "Queen" on her post. Other celebrities like Disha Patani and Badshah also left supportive comments, amplifying the message against online bullying.
Veer Pahariya and Orry's Jocular Exchange
Veer Pahariya himself joined the comment section to clarify the facts. He explained that the viral reaction video of him was deceptively edited, pieced together from footage of two different moments. "Not to mention the reaction footage of me was taken during another song not even Thodi Si Daru," he noted, highlighting the manipulative editing.
In a light-hearted twist, his close friend Orry (Orhan Awatramani) playfully challenged his clarification, commenting in Hindi, "Jhooth bola kawva kaata (you are lying)." This interaction, likely meant in jest, added another layer to the social media discussion but ultimately underscored the couple's united front.
The entire episode highlights how quickly edited social media reels can fuel baseless rumours about celebrity relationships. Tara Sutaria and Veer Pahariya's direct response demonstrates a shift towards celebrities confronting such gossip head-on, attributing it to calculated "paid PR campaigns" rather than genuine public speculation. Their stance reinforces that their relationship remains solid, unaffected by external narratives.
