The Bollywood actress, Tara Sutaria, who is best remembered for Student of the Year 2, is back in the limelight following her appearance at the Mumbai concert of AP Dhillon on December 27, 2025. The following days were filled with videos of her appearance on the internet, as it is so common when a recognizable face enters the limelight. She was observed on the stage with the Punjabi singer dancing with the music as he sang his popular song Thodi Si Daaru.
One of the numerous recordings attracted the most attention: Dhillon approached her, put an arm around her, and kissed her on the cheek. The camera, without emotion or hesitation, panned to Veer Pahariya who is now known to be her lover. Eye-catching and eager to criticize, the viewers stated that his face bore discontent, as though he would have preferred to be elsewhere.
The suspicion was fed by older gossip, by the rumors of June last year that Tara and Dhillon had more than mere casual acquaintance after being spotted at lunch in Mumbai. It will be interesting to follow the trail of Sutaria’s romantic links, and to note the names of the men whose names have been romantically linked with her.
When Reality TV Banter Sparked Speculation Around Badshah
Shilpa Shetty, who sat as a judge on the popular program Indian Idol 15, made an incisive comment in an unexpected moment that linked the name of Badshah to that of actress Tara Sutaria. She said, “Badshah, maine suna hai ki din mein bhi taare dekh rahe hain aap. Tara dekh rahe hain aap.” The light-hearted yet acute words put the audience murmuring.
It happened in one of the episodes devoted to the cinema of the nineties, when the season was about to finish. Shilpa, who was enjoying the moment, did not stop the joke. She burst into the well-known song Tan Tana Tan Tan Tan Tara of Judwaa, and there was no mistaking her intention. The answer of Badshah, a glow on his face, and an effort to conceal himself behind his hands, did not serve much to quiet the growing gossip.
Most of the viewers had already announced this as an indication of an emerging romance between the rapper and Tara Sutaria by the time the episode aired. On her part, Tara has thus far preferred to remain silent and provide no affirmation or refutation to the gossips that are now chasing her name.
A Relationship That Once Looked Built to Last: Aadar Jain Chapter
According to reports, Tara Sutaria and Aadar Jain first entered into a relationship in 2019. When they chose to make it public on Instagram the following year, they were swiftly regarded as one of the more charming young couples in the film world. For several years their partnership appeared steady, lasting four, perhaps five, before matters changed. By 2023, rumors spread that they had parted ways, and their silence on the reasons only sharpened public curiosity.
In the aftermath of the separation, Aadar married Alekha Advani, who was said to have once been a friend of Tara’s. His decision drew criticism, particularly when he made a remark implying that his earlier romance had been nothing more than a pastime. Such casual words, spoken so soon, seemed to many to reflect poorly on him rather than on the woman whose name he invoked.
Industry Speculations and a Missed Film Pairing With Ishaan Khatter
Most viewers know Tara Sutaria from her role in Karan Johar’s Student of the Year 2, though few are aware that Ishaan Khatter was once expected to share the screen with her. The Times of India reported that he had even filmed certain action sequences before plans changed. It is said that Johar withdrew him from the project after hearing whispers that Tara and Ishaan were growing close.
They had been seen together often, and their joint work on a music video gave further life to talk of a romance. Their on-screen pairing was lively enough, yet it was the behind-the-scenes shots from Pyaar Aata Hai that convinced many watchers they shared more than professional ease.
The Rumour Tara Sutaria Personally Shut Down: Arunoday Singh
In 2024, several outlets claimed that Tara Sutaria and actor Arunoday Singh were in a relationship, suggesting the two had been involved for over a year and a half. This time, however, Tara moved quickly to set the record straight.
In a conversation with Hindustan Times, she stated plainly, “Arunoday is a dear friend of mine and I am single.” Her words left no room for speculation, or at least, no more than the public insists on creating for itself.
Tara Sutaria’s Current Relationship Status: Veer Pahariya
The news of a new love affair between Tara Sutaria and Veer Pahariya started shortly after her break-up with Aadar Jain. When the two were spotted leaving the same restaurant, the rumors picked up a notch higher since they decided to leave through different routes as though they were afraid of being spotted. A couple of months later, things were more evident.
Tara posted a set of behind-the-scene shots of the shoot of Thodi Si Daaru by AP Dhillon where she is wearing the gold, backless, dress that reflected metal-like light. The images were not what aroused interest, but the dialogue below the pictures. Veer Pahariya made a short comment, “My,” with a star and a heart, which many interpreted as more revealing than any official statement.
Tara responded with a similar reply of “Mine,” and an evil-eye symbol followed by a heart, and that little exchange was recognition of their relationship. The two have since been seen to be stable and happy, with no indication of the storm that usually follows young love in the public eye.
Conclusion
Since Badshah is supposedly a stargazer and Ishaan Khatter is supposedly leaving her debut film without leaving a trace, the actress has kept the gossip columns busier than a monsoon season traffic jam in Mumbai. Some of these relationships have died quicker than a wet firecracker, others have blazed on longer, yet Sutaria has managed the scrutiny with a commendable lack of words, only speaking when she has to.
At this point, when Veer Pahariya is possessive with his “My,” the couple appears to be happy letting their emojis speak. It is yet to be seen whether this romance will last longer than her past entanglement. In the meantime, the audience of Bollywood will continue to watch the stars, Tara included.
