Pakistani star Mahira Khan, present at Arijit Singh’s Dubai concert, expressed delight in witnessing the Indian singer’s performance. She described him as “whirling in joy, surrounded by love.
Arijit, renowned for hits like “Tum Hi Ho,” “Raabta,” “Kabira,” and “Chaleya,” captivated the audience at Dubai’s Coca-Cola Arena with his live performance. Mahira shared a concert video on her Instagram page, with caption as follows.
“I was supposed to be here for this.. but.. I guess I was. You know what I mean? What a pleasure it is to watch an artist perform.. whirling in joy, surrounded by love. “But more than that, it’s beautiful when you see humility in an artist.. because he knows, it isn’t him.. he’s just been blessed from up above. Stay blessed @arijitsingh Wah!”.
A video circulated on social media showing Arijit apologizing to Mahira after failing to recognize her during the show. While performing the song “Zaalima” from Mahira’s 2017 Bollywood debut film “Raees,” Arijit spotted the actor in the crowd but couldn’t identify her. He subsequently gave a shout-out to Mahira, who was seated in one of the front rows at the arena.
“You guys must be surprised, should I reveal? I should reveal it in a nice way. Can we have the camera there? I was trying to recognise this person, then remembered, I had sung for her. Ladies and gentlemen, Mahira Khan is sitting right in front of me,” Arijit said.
“Think about it, I was singing her song ‘Zaalima’ and it’s her song and she was singing and standing and I couldn’t recognise her. I am so sorry. Ma’am gratitude and thank you so much,” he added.
Mahira, known in India for her Pakistani drama serials like “Humsafar” and “Sadqay Tumhare,” was visibly delighted by the gesture and responded by waving at the camera. In “Zaalima,” Arijit Singh provided playback for Shah Rukh Khan’s character in the film “Raees,” while Harshdeep Kaur lent her vocals for Mahira’s character. The song was composed by Pritam and penned by Amitabh Bhattacharya.
