Arijit Singh and Mahira Khan are causing a stir in the headlines after a video surfaced on social media showing Singh expressing regret to the Pakistani actress for not recognizing her during his concert in Dubai.

He was singing Zaalima, which is Mahira Khan's song from the movie Raees, starring Shah Rukh Khan. In the video, Arijit said that he sang the song and did not realize that Mahira Khan was a part of the concert.

Following the viral video, Mahira has addressed the situation and showered accolades upon the Indian vocalist.

In her response, she expressed admiration and commendation for Arijit Singh, highlighting his talent and character.

The Pakistani diva took to her social media platform reportedly and mentioned that she wasn't meant to be a part of the concert but it was a pleasure to watch Arijit Singh perform. She wrote that he is blessed from above.

 Her post allegedly read:

"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!"

Khan's words of appreciation underscored the mutual respect and admiration between the two artists, emphasizing the positive and respectful nature of their interaction.

Here are Arijit’s heartfelt words for Mahira during his concert:

“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.”

This public acknowledgment serves as a testament to the bond and camaraderie that transcends borders, showcasing a heartwarming display of mutual admiration and professional courtesy in the realm of entertainment.

 It is pertinent to mention here that Mahira Khan, one of the biggest names in the Pakistani film industry, made her Bollywood debut with Raees. Her chemistry with Shah Rukh Khan was loved by all.

Unfortunately, her Bollywood career was abruptly halted due to the strained relations between India and Pakistan, leading to a ban on artists from across the border working in India. Despite this setback, Mahira Khan's association with Ranbir Kapoor sparked interest online, with their pictures circulating on social media. Throughout her career, she has consistently praised Shah Rukh Khan, a Bollywood icon, keeping her in the spotlight even when not actively working in India.
