Tara Sutaria’s cosy outing with AP Dhillon prompts netizens to label it a 'PR strategy'

Bollywood actress Tara Sutaria and Punjabi singer AP Dhillon were recently spotted exiting a swanky Mumbai restaurant together, drawing considerable attention from paparazzi and online users alike. Their subtle smiles and slightly flushed expressions immediately fuelled speculation about a possible new romance—or a carefully curated PR appearance.

While AP Dhillon stayed casual in an oversized white tee and jeans, Tara Sutaria was seen in a sharp grey blazer paired with black stilettos. As she waved at the photographers with a bright smile before entering her car, the internet was already buzzing. Reddit threads lit up with comments labelling them a “new PR couple.” One user noted, “New PR couple alert—Tara Sutaria and AP Dhillon,” while another quipped, “This is the third guy Tara has been linked with in three months. Her PR needs to calm down.”

Tara’s name has indeed been in circulation recently for her alleged romantic ties. Just last month, she was rumoured to be dating Veer Pahariya, an actor and Sara Ali Khan’s former partner. Tara and Veer were seen attending events together, including a joint appearance at Lakme Fashion Week. She walked the ramp in a black and white ASOS outfit, earning media attention not just for fashion, but also for her supposed date.

Veer Pahariya, in an earlier interview, had addressed how gossip had become part of his life. “I was 20 when rumours about my personal life began. Now, I’ve learnt to ignore them,” he said. Sara Ali Khan had previously confirmed in a 2019 Filmfare interview that Veer was the only person she had dated. Tara also had a relationship with Aadar Jain, Ranbir Kapoor’s cousin, which ended in 2023. Aadar has since moved on and married their common friend Alekha Advani.

Professionally, Tara recently featured with Ishaan Khatter in the emotional music video Pyaar Aata Hai. AP Dhillon continues his global music streak, performing at sold-out venues and releasing chart-topping singles. Whether this public appearance marks the beginning of a romance or a well-planned publicity tactic remains up for debate, but it has certainly set the internet talking.
