Renowned Bollywood singer Arijit Singh recently apologized to Pakistani TV and film star Mahira Khan during his concert in Dubai.
Singh publicly apologized to Khan after failing to recognize her in the front row. However, he quickly made amends by dedicating a song to the Pakistani celebrity.
“I was trying to recognize this person, then remembered I had sung for her. Ladies and gentlemen, Mahira Khan is sitting right in front of me,” Singh announced to the audience.
“Think about it, I was singing her song ‘Zaalima,’ and it’s her song, and she was singing and standing, and I couldn’t recognize her. I am so sorry. Ma’am, gratitude and thank you so much.”
Khan, who was in Dubai to receive her ‘Artist in Fashion’ award at EMIGala 2024, attended Singh’s concert. Sharing moments from the event on her Instagram, she wrote, “I wasn’t meant to be here for this… but… I guess I was. You know what I mean?”
She further praised Singh’s performance and humility, stating, “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.”
