New Delhi, December 31, 2025: The Bollywood social circle has been rocked by a manufactured controversy involving actress Tara Sutaria and her boyfriend Veer Pahariya. On December 31, 2025, a wave of clarity was brought to the situation by social media sensation Orry (Orhan Awatramani), who stepped in to defend the couple. The drama began following AP Dhillon’s high-octane Mumbai concert, where viral, “cleverly edited” clips suggested that Veer was visibly upset and “tense” while watching Tara’s affectionate on-stage performance with the Punjabi singer.
The narrative of a disgruntled boyfriend was shattered when Orry released what he termed “real-time footage” from the event. In the unedited video, Veer Pahariya was observed not in a state of anger, but in high spirits, dancing and cheering enthusiastically as Tara and AP Dhillon performed their hit track Thodi Si Daaru. Orry’s post was captioned with the bold statement, “What the media won’t show you,” effectively proving that the previous viral clips had used reaction shots from entirely different, unrelated moments of the night to create a false sense of tension.

The actress did not hold back in her response to the digital bullying, taking to Instagram to expose what she described as a “paid PR sham.” On December 30, Tara shared evidence from an influencer who claimed to have been offered ₹6,000 to post defamatory content using specific derogatory talking points. She was heard stating that these “false narratives” were designed specifically to malign her reputation and damage her relationship. Tara reaffirmed her bond with Veer, stating they are “loud and proud and in it together,” and that the joke is ultimately on the “bullies” who tried to shake them.
The situation was further defused by Veer Pahariya himself, who addressed the viral “pissed off” videos with a sense of humor. He was observed commenting on the posts, calling the creators “jokers” and pointing out the technical flaws in their editing. Veer clarified that the specific footage of him looking serious was actually recorded during a completely different song and had nothing to do with Tara’s performance. His calm and supportive stance has been widely praised by fans, who noted that he stood by his partner “like a rock” throughout the social media storm.
As 2025 draws to a close, this incident has highlighted the dark side of “reel culture” and the ease with which context can be manipulated for clicks. The couple, who made their relationship public in August 2025, has emerged from the controversy stronger than ever. Industry friends like Disha Patani and Badshah were also seen rallying behind the duo. The “AP Dhillon concert row” serves as a stark reminder for netizens to verify content before reacting, as Tara and Veer continue to focus on their upcoming projects, including Tara’s role in Toxic and Veer’s debut in Sky Force.
