Actor Tara Sutaria has responded to online rumours following singer AP Dhillon’s recent concert in Mumbai. Clips of Sutaria’s onstage appearance went viral, sparking a wave of social media debate. Some users even questioned the reaction of her boyfriend, Veer Pahariya, who was present at the show.
In the widely shared video, AP Dhillon invites Sutaria onto the stage during his performance. Dressed in black, the actor joins the singer for a brief dance, exchanging a friendly hug and a cheek kiss as the crowd cheers. While the moment appeared celebratory, parts of the internet were quick to read into Veer Pahariya’s expressions from the audience, with several posts suggesting he looked uncomfortable.
Addressing the chatter, Tara Sutaria took to Instagram to set the record straight. In a strongly worded post, she dismissed the rumours as “false narratives” and “clever editing”. She described the evening as memorable and thanked Mumbai for the love shown to their song. She added that “love and the truth always wins”, calling out what she referred to as bullying and paid publicity efforts.
Veer Pahariya also responded to the viral clips, stating that the reaction video attributed to him was misleading. The footage was taken during an entirely different song and not during the moment being discussed online, he said. “The reaction footage of me was taken during another song, not even Thodi Si Daaru,” he wrote in the comments, dismissing the speculation with humour.
Sutaria’s post gained quick support from fans and film industry friends. Actor Disha Patani commented in her defence. Fans also rallied behind the couple with comments like “Power couple,” “The truth always wins,” and “You go girl!” One fan added, “I love when you troll the trollers.”
This was not Sutaria’s first appearance at an AP Dhillon concert. She had also attended his show in Pune earlier. The two also share a professional association, having collaborated on the music video for Thodi Si Daaru, released earlier this year.
The incident once again highlights how brief moments from live events can quickly be taken out of context online, prompting celebrities to step in and clarify narratives surrounding their personal lives.
