Arguably the biggest contemporary singer of Bollywood, Arijit Singh recently apologised to famous Pakistani actress Mahira Khan. Arijit Singh issued his apology to Mahira during his live concert in Dubai. Mahira Khan was present in the crowd enjoying Arijit Singh's Dubai Concert. Suddenly, the 37-year-old singer said sorry to Mahira Khan, and the actress was clearly overwhelmed by the Indian singer's gesture. Now, the question arises why did Arijit Singh apologise to Mahira Khan?
Why did Arijit Singh apologise to Mahira Khan?
Arijit Singh was performing at a concert in Dubai where he sang the song Zaalima from Raees. Arijit however failed to recognize that actor Mahira Khan - on whom the song was picturised, was sitting right in the front row of the same concert. Rectifying his mistake, the singer then apologized and even gave a shout out to the actress. Below is what Arijit said-
"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."
Notably, Mahira shared the video on her Instagram handle and sent him her blessings. Sharing Arijit Singh's Dubai Concert video, Mahira Khan 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!"
