The glitzy Mumbai wedding reception of Nupur Sanon and Stebin Ben on Tuesday night was more than just a celebration of love, it became a hotspot for major Bollywood gossip. While stars like Salman Khan and Mouni Roy turned heads, it was Veer Pahariya who sparked a social media frenzy by arriving at the star-studded event solo.
His appearance comes at a critical time, as rumours of an alleged split from actress Tara Sutaria have dominated headlines over the last week.
His solo appearance at the reception
Dressed in a sharp, all-black ensemble, the actor looked every bit the dapper leading man. In a viral video from the night, Veer was seen warmly greeting the groom, Stebin, before sharing a heartfelt hug with Nupur Sanon. He also interacted with the sister of the bride, Kriti Sanon, who looked resplendent in a green saree.
While Veer maintained a cheerful demeanour, the absence of Tara Sutaria was impossible to ignore. For a couple that has been inseparable at public events and high-profile concerts since mid-2025, a solo appearance at a major industry wedding is being viewed by many as a soft launch of their single status.
Have Veer and Tara broken up?
The Paharia-Sutaria ship hit rocky waters earlier this month. The speculation intensified following two major incidents. A viral, edited clip from a Mumbai concert suggested Veer was uncomfortable while Tara shared a friendly moment on stage with the singer. Although Tara slammed the video as paid PR and fabricated narratives, and Veer supported her by sharing the raw footage, the public scrutiny that came after was uncalled for.
Additionally, just days ago, Veer was spotted at a private airport heading for a vacation with his brother Shikhar Pahariya and Janhvi Kapoor. Tara’s absence from the family-and-friends trip raised immediate red flags for fans who track the couple’s every move.

The reception itself was the final chapter of Nupur and Stebin’s journey, which began with two dreamy weddings in Udaipur (one Hindu and one Christian). The Mumbai leg saw a massive turnout — Salman Khan made a grand entry, Kriti Sanon looked radiant in an olive-green velvet saree, supporting her sister alongside rumoured boyfriend Kabir Bahia, and industry favourites like Disha Patani, Rakul Preet Singh, and Neha Dhupia kept the glamour quotient high.
What’s next for Veer?
On the professional front, Veer made his debut in 2025 with Sky Force, where he played a young pilot alongside veteran actor Akshay Kumar. While neither Veer nor Tara has officially confirmed a split, his solo walk down the reception red carpet has left fans wondering if one of Bollywood’s most loved new couples has indeed called it quits.
