Actor Aadar Jain has finally addressed the controversy surrounding his "time pass" remark, which sparked widespread speculation about his past relationship. The comment, made during his pre-wedding celebrations with Alekha Advani, led many to assume it was directed at his former partner, actress Tara Sutaria. However, Aadar has now clarified that his words were taken out of context and misrepresented.
Aadar Jain on his "time pass" comment
In an interview with the Times of India, Aadar expressed his disappointment over how the situation unfolded. He stated, "There are so many false narratives, false assumptions, but no fact-checkers. Unfortunately, what happens is when people make up stories and say certain things, the people who get affected are the people involved and their families. In this scenario, from day one, there's been so many things written. Out of respect, everyone has been silent about it. People then take liberty to say what they want. It's unfair for her (pointing towards Alekha) and her family, me and my family, her (directing at Tara) and her family. Obviously, there's no truth to any of it."
Aadar said that he would never think about anyone else during his wedding. He said, "Whatever's been written, there is no truth behind any of it... They misconstrued what I said and took 10 seconds of it. And then people form their own opinions about it. People have made it out to be something else and directed towards someone else. My parents always taught me to respect my past, my present, and now my future. So that is how we have been brought up and we never meant to direct it towards anyone. I would not think of anyone else when I'm getting married. It's unfortunate what happened. But there's no truth behind any of it."
Alekha also weighs in
Alekha also weighed in on the matter, expressing frustration over the way Aadar’s words were twisted. She said, "It became like this whole other narrative and a whole other thing which was not really fair or nice. Even she (Tara) knows that we (Aadar and I) have been friends for so long. This whole story is baseless."
Aadar further commented on the nature of relationships and breakups, saying, "Things don't work out for a reason. That doesn't mean you turn out and start saying things about people."
What Aadar had said
The uproar began when a video of Aadar’s speech during his pre-wedding festivities surfaced online. In the clip, he affectionately spoke about Alekha, saying, “I have always loved her since then, and I have always wanted to be with her but never got a chance to be with her. So she sent me on this long journey of 20 years through time pass. But at the end of the day, it was worth the wait because I get to marry this beautiful, beautiful woman, who looks like a dream. I love you, and it was worth the wait. It's a secret, I have always loved her. I have done time pass for four years of my life. But now I'm with you, baby."
The comment about “time pass” led to speculation that Aadar was referring to his past relationship with Tara Sutaria.
Aadar and Alekha's wedding
Aadar and Alekha tied the knot in February this year, marking a new chapter in their lives. Aadar was previously in a relationship with Tara Sutaria for a few years before parting ways around 2023.
