‘Stay blessed,’ says Mahira Khan after attending Arijit Singh’s concert

<p>Pakistani actress Mahira Khan is back in scrutiny after her <a href="http://www.wionews.com/south-asia/mahira-khan-caught-smoking-again-internet-divided-in-reactions-127042">video smoking at an event in Pakistan</a> became viral recently. She also shot up on social media for her amazing <a href="http://www.wionews.com/south-asia/watch-mahira-khans-gig-on-bollywood-hits-127234">dance performance at a friend’s function</a> in which she incidentally dances on Bollywood hit numbers. But there’s one more thing she became a hot talking point for -- and it’s Ranbir Kapoor’s visit to London.&nbsp;</p>

<p>It was earlier reported that while Ranbir Kapoor was coming back to India from Bulgaria after wrapping the shooting schedule for Brahmastra with co-star Alia Bhatt (with whom he has been romantically linked too), he took a detour and stopped at London. Everyone’s best guess was, visiting Mahira Khan who was incidentally in London at the same time.</p>

<p>At that time when the issue was in its heat, Ranbir issued a <a href="http://www.wionews.com/india-news/very-unfair-the-way-shes-being-judged-ranbir-kapoor-breaks-silence-on-pics-with-mahira-khan-20567">statement </a>that read: "I've gotten to know Mahira in a personal capacity over the last few months.
