Tara Sutaria and Veer Pahariya have finally responded to the online chatter surrounding a viral video from AP Dhillon’s Mumbai concert, where Tara appeared on stage with the singer. The clip, which quickly spread across social media, showed Tara sharing a warm hug and a friendly kiss on the cheek with AP Dhillon, but it was Veer’s reaction from the audience that drew intense scrutiny.
Soon after the video surfaced, fans and social media users began speculating that Veer looked visibly uncomfortable during the interaction. The moment was dissected endlessly, with many assuming tension between the couple based on a few seconds of footage. As the speculation grew louder, Tara and Veer chose to set the record straight.
Taking to Instagram, Tara shared a concert video along with a strong message addressing the controversy. She emphasized unity and positivity, writing that the night was filled with love and appreciation for the music and the audience. She also directly called out what she described as “false narratives,” “clever editing,” and alleged paid PR campaigns, making it clear that none of it had shaken their bond. Tara added that love and truth always prevail and dismissed online trolling as meaningless noise.
Veer Pahariya also weighed in, clarifying that the viral clip had been taken completely out of context. In a comment on Tara’s post, he explained that the reaction footage attributed to him was actually from a different song altogether, not from the moment being discussed. He criticized the misleading nature of the edit and brushed off the rumors as baseless.
The couple, who reportedly began dating in early 2025, have been in the public eye since they were first spotted together on private outings. Their relationship sparked curiosity among fans long before they made things official. In March, Tara and Veer made a joint appearance as showstoppers at a major fashion event, further fueling interest. Later in the year, they confirmed their relationship during Ganesh Chaturthi celebrations.
In a previous interview with Travel + Leisure India, Veer spoke openly about their connection, sharing that they have always been comfortable expressing affection in public. He recalled that their bond truly formed on their first date, when he played the piano and Tara sang through the night. Tara echoed the sentiment, describing their relationship as one built on standing by each other through every high and low, as if they had known each other forever.
