Mumbai: Bollywood actress Janhvi Kapoor has come under criticism on social media after giving Veer Pahariya a one-line dating tip on Karan Johar’s popular chat show Koffee With Karan. During the rapid-fire round, Janhvi advised Veer, “Never take her to a concert.” The remark has sparked debate online, with some users linking it to the past controversy involving Veer’s former girlfriend Tara Sutaria and singer AP Dhillon’s Mumbai concert. However, Janhvi did not mention Tara by name or explain the reason behind her comment on the show.
Why Janhvi Kapoor’s One-Line Remark Sparked Controversy
During the rapid-fire segment of Koffee With Karan, host Karan Johar asked Janhvi what dating advice she would give Veer Pahariya. She promptly replied, “Never take her to a concert.” Karan, Varun Dhawan and Arjun Kapoor, who made a special appearance on the show, also reacted to her answer.
The remark quickly became a topic of discussion on social media. While some viewers found it funny, others criticised the actress, arguing that the joke could be interpreted as taking a dig at another woman. Some users said that putting another woman down for humour was inappropriate, while others questioned whether Janhvi should have avoided making such a comment.
What Is the Connection Between Tara Sutaria and AP Dhillon’s Concert?
Janhvi’s remark has been linked by social media users to Tara Sutaria’s past relationship with Veer Pahariya and the controversy surrounding Tara’s appearance at AP Dhillon’s Mumbai concert in December 2025.
According to reports, Tara and Veer began dating in early 2025 and were spotted together on several occasions. Reports of their holiday in Italy also surfaced before the couple made their relationship public on Instagram in July 2025. News of their separation emerged around six months later, although neither publicly confirmed the exact reason for their reported breakup.
During AP Dhillon’s Mumbai concert in December 2025, Tara joined the singer on stage. A video showing Dhillon hugging her and kissing her on the cheek went viral on social media, triggering speculation about their interaction and Veer’s possible reaction.
What Did Veer Pahariya and Tara Sutaria Say About the Viral Videos?
Amid the online discussion, another video surfaced that some viewers interpreted as showing Veer reacting negatively to the concert incident. Veer later clarified that the footage being used to suggest his reaction was from a different part of the event.
Tara also reportedly objected to the narratives circulating about her and raised concerns over alleged misleading stories and paid PR campaigns. However, the viral concert clips did not establish the claims being made about Tara and Veer’s relationship.
Janhvi’s recent comment has brought the old controversy back into the spotlight. However, since she did not name Tara or explicitly refer to the AP Dhillon concert, the suggestion that her remark was aimed at Tara remains speculation rather than a confirmed fact.
Janhvi Kapoor’s Upcoming Projects
On the professional front, Janhvi Kapoor is reportedly expected to appear in Lag Ja Gale alongside Tiger Shroff and Lakshya. Directed by Raj Mehta and backed by Dharma Productions, the action entertainer is expected to release in the summer of 2027.
There have also been reports linking Janhvi to Raaka, an upcoming science-fiction action film featuring Allu Arjun and Deepika Padukone and directed by Atlee. The project is being produced by Sun Pictures.
Meanwhile, her brief dating advice on Koffee With Karan continues to generate discussion online, with viewers debating whether the remark was simply a joke or an indirect reference to the earlier concert controversy.
