Singer Arijit Singh singer fails to recognize Mahira Khan- makes sweet gesture later
Arijit Singh had a bit of a slip-up when he didn’t recognize Mahira Khan at first. But he made up for it later with a sweet gesture
While Singer Arijit Singh was singing ‘Zaalima’ from the movie ‘Raees.’ at a concert in Dubai, he, however, failed TO realize that Mahira Khan, the actress who starred in the song, was sitting in the front row of the concert.
Shortly later, the singer spotted her and apologized, giving her a shoutout. This interaction was captured by many fans at the concert and has surfaced on social media.
In the viral surfacing on social media, Arijit Singh was spotted introducing Mahira Khan to the audience, saying, “You guys must be surprised, should I reveal? I should reveal it in a very nice way. Can we have the camera there?
He was trying to recognise this person, then remembered he had sung for her. Ladies and gentlemen Mahira Khan is sitting right in front of him. Think about that he was singing her song Zaalima and it’s her song and she was singing and standing and he ouldn’t recognise her. So sorry. Ma’am gratitude and thank you so much.
Mahira, dressed in black, smiled at the kind gesture and waved to the audience.
Zaalima was a romantic song featured in the movie Raees, featuring Shah Rukh Khan and Mahira. The romantic track also featured vocals by Harshdeep Kaur.
Coming to Arijit, he embarked on his musical career with the reality show ‘Fame Gurukul’ back in 2005 when he was 18 years old. He didn’t win the show but ended up in sixth position. But amidst this reality show stint, Arijit’s voice caught the attention of the director Sanjay Leela Bhansali who offered to collaborate with him. He stuck to his words and gave Arijit a chance to sing ‘Yoon Shabnami’ in ‘Saawariya’ but
ironically, his version never made it to the film.
Finally, in 2011, he made his debut as a Bollywood playback singer with ‘Murder 2’ song ‘Phir Mohabbat’ starring Emraan Hashmi and Jacqueline Fernandez. Composed by Mithoon, and sung by Arijit, the love anthem of ‘Aashiqui 2’ gave rise to the birth of the star Arijit.
In 2019, the singer saw a high point in his career, when he took home the National Award for Best Male Playback Singer for the ‘Padmaavat’ song ‘Binte Dil’.
