Arijit Singh apologises to Mahira Khan after overlooking her

DUBAI: At a recent concert in Dubai, Bollywood singer Arijit Singh failed to recognize one of the attendees – Pakistani actress Mahira Khan.

What the singer did next to make up for it was absolutely adorable. It so happened that Arijit Singh was performing at a concert in Dubai where he sang the song Zaalima from Raees.

The singer however failed to recognize that actor Mahira Khan – on whom the song was picturized, was sitting right on the front row of the same concert. Rectifying his mistake, the singer then apologized and even gave a shout out to the actress.

In a video that is going viral on social media, Arijit Singh can be heard saying on stage, “You guys must be surprised, should I reveal. I should reveal in a very nice way. Can we have camera there. I have been trying to recognise this person, then remembered I have sung for her. Ladies and gentlemen Mahira Khan sitting right infront of me. Think about 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. Maam gratitude and thank you so much.”

Mahira Khan, who can be spotted wearing a wear outfit in the video, smiled at the sweet gesture and waved at the audience.

Mahira Khan praised Arijit Singh after attending his concert in Dubai. A video of the singer failing to recognise the ‘Raaes’ actor at the first go, also went viral. In her latest Instagram post, Mahira posted glimpses from Dubai and hailed the singer.

Praising the singer on Instagram, Mahira wrote, “I wasn’t meant 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! (sic).”
