I should reveal it in a very nice way. Can we have the camera there? I was trying to recognize this person, then I remembered I had sung for her. Ladies and gentlemen, Mahira Khan is sitting right in front 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 recognize her. I am so sorry. Ma’am, gratitude and thank you so much.”

Mahira Khan donned a beautiful black dress at the concert. She shouted, ‘It’s ok’ and waved back. Arijit sang one of his most popular songs, ‘Zaalima’ from the movie ‘Raees’ starring Shah Rukh Khan and ‘Mahira Khan’. The film marked the Bollywood debut of Mahira Khan in 2017.

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. More importantly, it’s truly beautiful to witness humility in an artist, for he understands that it isn’t solely his doing—rather, he has been blessed from above. Stay blessed @arijitsingh Wah!”
