New Delhi, December 29, 2025: A whirlwind of social media speculation was ignited this weekend following a high-profile interaction at AP Dhillon’s Mumbai concert. On the night of December 26, 2025, actress Tara Sutaria was observed joining the Punjabi sensation on stage to perform their hit track, “Thodi Si Daaru.” The atmosphere was described as electric until a specific moment—where Dhillon was seen embracing Tara and planting a kiss on her cheek—was captured by fans and panned directly to her boyfriend, Veer Pahariya, who was standing in the audience.
The viral footage has centered almost entirely on Veer’s facial expressions during the onstage display of affection. In the video, Pahariya was observed looking visibly “shocked” and “tense” as he watched the interaction from the front rows. While the crowd was heard cheering for the musical duo, the camera’s focus on Veer’s “pissed” demeanor has led to a flurry of internet memes and armchair psychology. Netizens have been observed debating whether the reaction was a genuine moment of discomfort or a misinterpreted frame caught in the heat of a loud, crowded event.

The drama was continued outside the venue as the couple attempted to make their departure. A secondary viral video shows the duo exiting the Jio World Convention Centre in what many have described as a “rushed” manner. While Tara was observed smiling and briefly telling the paparazzi that she “had lots of fun,” Veer was seen walking briskly toward their vehicle with a serious expression. He was noted for jumping into the car without his usual wave to the cameras, further fueling rumors of a “backstage kalesh” (conflict) between the two.
The incident has triggered a wider conversation regarding the boundaries of public affection in the entertainment industry. Many social media users were heard defending the onstage kiss as a “friendly gesture” typical of professional performers, while others pointed out a perceived double standard. It was argued by several commentators that if the roles were reversed and Veer had shared a similar moment with another actress, the public backlash would have been far more severe. The phrase “poor Veer” has trended alongside the video, with fans expressing empathy for the young actor’s public awkwardness.
Despite the intense online scrutiny, the couple appears to be moving past the controversy as they prepare for 2026. On December 29, 2025, Tara and Veer were spotted together at the Mumbai airport, reportedly flying out to an undisclosed location to celebrate the New Year. They were observed appearing cheerful and coordinated in their travel attire, which many have interpreted as a silent rebuttal to the breakup rumors. As the viral videos continue to garner millions of views, the “concert kiss” remains the final big gossip highlight of the 2025 celebrity calendar.
