Pakistani actress Mahira Khan showered praise on Indian playback singer Arijit Singh after she attended his concert in Dubai over the weekend. The actress took to Instagram to share a video of the concert and expressed joy in witnessing the singer perform live on stage. 

Mahira Khan, a Pakistani star, who attended Arijit Singh's concert in Dubai over the weekend, on Monday said it was a pleasure to watch the Indian singer perform "whirling in joy, surrounded by love".

Arijit, known for hits such as Tum Hi Ho, Channa Mere Ya, Kabira, and Chaleya, performed live at Dubai's Coca-Cola Arena on Sunday.

Mahira was present in the audience and shared a video from the concert on her Instagram page.

"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!" she captioned the clip.

Earlier, a video of Arjit Singh apologising to Mahira mid-concert came to the surface. Arijit had failed to recognise her while singing 'Zaalima', which featured her and Shah Rukh Khan. Mahira was part of the 2017 Bollywood film Raees which also starred SRK and Nawazuddin Siddiqui.

On Sunday, Arijit gave a shout-out to Mahira, who was sitting in one of the front rows at the arena.

"You guys must be surprised, should I reveal? I should reveal it in a nice way. Can we have the camera there? I was trying to recognise this person, then remembered, I had sung for her. Ladies and gentlemen, Mahira Khan is sitting right in front of me," Arijit said.

"Think about it, 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. Ma'am gratitude and thank you so much," he added.
