Bollywood actor Tara Sutaria and her partner, actor Veer Pahariya, have issued a strong response to online trolls who targeted them following their appearance at a recent concert by popular singer AP Dhillon in Mumbai. The couple has accused social media users of spreading "false narratives" and using "clever editing" to create controversy.
The Viral Incident at the Concert
Several videos from AP Dhillon's gig in Mumbai began circulating widely on the internet. The clips showed Dhillon inviting Tara Sutaria onto the stage during his performance. The singer was seen giving Tara a hug and a peck on the cheek, while Veer Pahariya watched from the audience. It was Veer's reaction in the crowd that quickly became the focal point for numerous memes and jokes across social media platforms.
Netizens extensively commented on the on-stage interaction between Tara and AP Dhillon, with many poking fun at their chemistry. A section of online users trolled the duo, while others created humorous memes centred around Veer's expression captured in the audience.
The Couple's United Front Against Bullies
On Monday, both Tara and Veer decided to address the viral storm head-on. Taking to Instagram, Tara Sutaria posted a message calling out the social media bullies. She wrote, "False narratives, 'clever editing' and paid PR campaigns by folks won't and don't shake us up! In the end, love and the truth always wins. So the joke's on the bullies."
Veer Pahariya added crucial context in the comments section of her post. He pointed out that the widely shared reaction footage of him was not even from the same moment. "Not to mention the reaction footage of me was taken during another song not even Thodi si daru. Jokers," Veer clarified, highlighting the misleading nature of the edited videos.
Background of the Relationship and Careers
Tara Sutaria had made her relationship with Veer Pahariya official on Instagram in August this year. On the professional front, Tara made her Bollywood debut in 2019 with Karan Johar's 'Student of the Year 2' alongside Ananya Panday. Her filmography includes projects like 'Ek Villain Returns' with Arjun Kapoor, Disha Patani, and John Abraham, as well as 'Marjaavaan', 'Tadap', 'Heropanti 2', and 'Apurva'.
Veer Pahariya, on the other hand, marked his entry into Bollywood earlier this year with the film 'Sky Force'. The couple's joint statement reflects a growing trend of celebrities directly confronting online harassment and setting the record straight against manipulated content.
