In recent news, actress Tara Sutaria has taken a firm stance against what she alleges is a "paid PR" campaign designed to tarnish her reputation and damage her relationship. The controversy arose after a video from AP Dhillon's Mumbai concert circulated online, prompting negative comments and allegations against Sutaria.

Sutaria has accused unnamed individuals of orchestrating online attacks through organized smear campaigns. She expressed her dismay on social media, sharing a video from influencer Tanisha Malara who claimed she was offered money to participate in the smear campaign under the guise of content creation. Malara stated that influencers were given specific talking points and comments to include in their videos and comment sections for ₹6,000. Sutaria, in response, wrote, "Thank you @tanisha__malara for speaking up and sharing how this is PAID PR and done to malign my reputation". She further added, "Disgusting that they've made a list of derogatory captions and talking points to send to hundreds of content creators and thousands of meme pages. All to ruin my career and relationship???".

Sutaria also shared screenshots of the alleged "talking points" which included derogatory comments aimed at her character, with some labeling her a "gold digger" and questioning her relationship with Veer Pahariya. She condemned these actions as "shameful and sick," emphasizing that she would continue to share the truth.

The controversy began after Sutaria's appearance at AP Dhillon's concert in Mumbai, where she joined him on stage. A manipulated video suggested that her boyfriend, Veer Pahariya, appeared uncomfortable during her interaction with Dhillon. This sparked a wave of trolling and criticism directed at Sutaria, with some even bringing up her past relationship with Aadar Jain.

Countering the negative narrative, Orry, a friend of Sutaria, shared a video from the concert showing Pahariya enjoying the performance. Sutaria reshared the video, captioning it "The Truth".

Malara alleged that the smear campaign was primarily targeted at Sutaria, even though it was publicly framed as being against AP Dhillon. She noted the coordinated nature of the negative comments appearing across various videos and accounts. Sutaria also shared that these pre-written captions and talking points were distributed to numerous content creators and meme pages.
