Actress Tara Sutaria and Punjabi music sensation AP Dhillon have set the internet abuzz after being spotted together in Mumbai, sparking widespread speculation about a blossoming romance. The duo was photographed leaving a restaurant in the city, with Tara reportedly blushing as paparazzi clamored for their pictures, while Dhillon was seen smiling. However, the viral video and images have also ignited a strong reaction from netizens, with many quick to label their joint appearance a “PR Jodi” or a publicity stunt.
The sighting saw Tara Sutaria looking stylish in an oversized grey blazer paired with sleek black stilettos and black sunglasses, her hair open. AP Dhillon opted for a more casual look in a white t-shirt and loose jeans, appearing somewhat shy as photographers insisted they pose together. A video circulating online shows Dhillon following Tara to her car to bid her an “adorable goodbye” before leaving in his own vehicle.
The chemistry, or perhaps the perceived lack thereof, between the two has fueled online discussions. While some fans expressed excitement and “love” for the new potential couple, a significant portion of social media users were skeptical. Comments such as “New PR couple alert” and “This is the third guy Tara is being shipped with in 3 months. Her PR needs to calm down” flooded platforms, indicating a prevailing sentiment that the outing might be a calculated move rather than an organic romantic development. One user even noted that AP Dhillon “looks very happy for the first time,” adding to the intrigue.
This recent appearance comes amidst a flurry of rumors surrounding Tara Sutaria’s personal life. Just last month, she was reportedly linked to Veer Pahariya, with whom she was spotted at various events, including Lakme Fashion Week. Prior to that, Tara was in a well-publicized relationship with Aadar Jain, Ranbir Kapoor’s cousin, which ended in 2023. Aadar Jain has since married Alekha Advani, a mutual friend, in February 2025. Tara was also briefly rumored to be dating Arunoday Singh, though she clarified that he was just a friend.
AP Dhillon, on his part, has also been the subject of relationship speculation. He was previously linked to actress Banita Sandhu after they appeared together in his music video “With You.” While neither confirmed their relationship, their on-screen chemistry led to widespread dating rumors that eventually faded. More recently, there were whispers of a romance between Dhillon and Afrobeats superstar Ayra Starr, following their collaboration and a “cozy appearance” in New York.
As both Tara Sutaria and AP Dhillon continue to make headlines in their respective professional fields – Tara with her recent music video “Pyaar Aata Hai” alongside Ishaan Khatter, and Dhillon continuing his global music tours and releases – this latest public appearance has undoubtedly added another layer of intrigue to their personal narratives. Whether this new connection is a genuine romance or a strategic PR move remains to be seen, but it has certainly provided ample fodder for discussion among fans and the media alike.
