As Aadar Jain prepares to tie the knot with Alekha Advani, his “timepass” remark about his past relationship has left the internet fuming.
Bollywood’s Kapoor clan is in a celebratory mood as Kareena Kapoor Khan and Ranbir Kapoor’s cousin, Aadar Jain, is all set to marry his childhood crush, Alekha Advani. However, amid the joyous occasion, Aadar has landed in hot water for his comments during a wedding speech, where he seemingly dismissed his past relationship as a mere “timepass.”
The actor, who was previously in a four-year relationship with actress Tara Sutaria, made the controversial remark while expressing his love for Alekha during the shagun ki mehendi ceremony. “I have always loved her since I was 10, and I have always wanted to be with her. But I never got a chance to be with her, so she sent me on this long journey of 20 years to do time pass,” Aadar said, much to the amusement of his wedding guests.

While the lighthearted comment was meant to emphasize his long-standing affection for Alekha, it quickly sparked outrage online. Many netizens slammed Aadar for undermining his previous relationship with Tara, labeling his words as disrespectful.
Tara Sutaria’s Subtle Response
Amid the online uproar, Tara Sutaria remained unbothered, or at least appeared so. The Student of the Year 2 actress shared a cryptic Instagram story shortly after Aadar’s comment went viral. Posting a serene image of a coffee table adorned with books, lit candles, and white flowers, she simply wrote:
“My company for the eve… #Home.”
Though Tara didn’t directly address the controversy, her post was enough for fans to read between the lines. Many saw it as a subtle clapback, suggesting she was at peace and unbothered by the chatter.
Aadar’s Love-Filled Speech for Alekha
Despite the controversy, Aadar continued to shower Alekha with affection during his speech. “At the end of the day, it was worth it because I get to marry this beautiful, beautiful woman who looks like a dream. And I love you, and it was worth the wait,” he said, sealing his declaration with a grand romantic gesture.
While Aadar and Alekha’s wedding remains the talk of the town, his offhand remark has sparked a larger conversation on how celebrities handle past relationships in public. Whether Aadar will address the backlash remains to be seen, but for now, his wedding festivities continue in full swing.
