The news is a rude awakening for Bollywood fans who can get their heads around things, as the most talk-worthy young couple the industry has to offer–Tara Sutaria and Veer Pahariya–are said to be ending their relationship. The two may “quietly” end the relationship, dating for almost a year, according to a few reports that emerged on January 9, 2026.
The news has spread panic on social media, especially after the couple had recently put their two cents on the table against online trolling and “paid PR” campaigns. Neither Tara nor Veer has declared themselves in official statements, but it is believed that the resolution to let things go was mutual.
From Instagram Official to a Silent Saying Goodby
The romance between the Apurva actress and the Sky Force star was on public display in early 2025. By mid-2025, they’d already made their relationship “Instagram official” with affectionate comments and a couple of joint public appearances, culminating in a prominent moment when they were showstoppers at a major fashion event.
Their relationship seemed deep: Veer’s first date story, with him playing the piano and Tara singing until morning hours. Only a few months before the couple said they would spend Tara’s 30th birthday on vacation, with the Maldives, many who claimed they were headed for a more extensive pledge of love.
The AP Dhillon Concert Controversy: A Turning Point?
Although the exact cause of the break-up is not specified, so far the recent controversy at an AP Dhillon concert in Mumbai is apparently what fans are calling it. A video shared online showed Tara on stage with the singer at the show, hugging intimately and giving him a peck on the cheek.
At the same time, clips of Veer Pahariya standing in the audience looking "uncomfortable" started circulating. Despite the fact both Tara and Veer were aggressively defending their relationship at the time (Tara even revealed what she referred to as a “Paid PR campaign” meant to smear her reputation), the relentless public eye and “clever editing” of their private moments seem to have worn them down.
What’s Next for the Stars? Both actors are now at the crux of their profession
Tara Sutaria: The actress will hit the open scene in Toxic: A Fairytale for Grown-Ups, one of India's period gangster thrillers and has already teamed up with Rocking Star Yash and Kiara Advani to help make her career one of the most ambitious yet. This is a first look poster titled "Rebecca," which has received much praise.
Veer Pahariya: After his debut in Sky Force, Veer might be looking into a number of key scripts that could help position him as a leading man in Bollywood. While on their paths individually, fans are optimistic about the fact that both can find peace away from the “virtual bullies” and media scrutiny that was there in its wake the final few weeks they spent together.
