Arijit Singh and Mahira Khan

Arijit Singh was singing at a concert in Dubai when he performed the song 'Zaalima' from the movie 'Raees.' However, he didn't realize that Mahira Khan, the actress who starred in the song, was sitting in the front row of the concert.


Shortly after, Arijit noticed her and apologized, giving her a shoutout. This interaction was captured by many fans at the concert and is now spreading like wildfire on social media.

In a video circulating on social media, Arijit Singh was spotted introducing Mahira Khan to the audience. He said, "You guys must be surprised, should I reveal? I should reveal it in a very 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. 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. 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, starring Shah Rukh Khan and Mahira. The romantic track also featured vocals by Harshdeep Kaur.

About Arijit Singh

Arijit began 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 during this reality show stint, Arijit's voice caught the attention of the director Sanjay Leela Bhansali who offered to collaborate with him. He kept his promise and gave Arijit a chance to sing 'Yoon Shabnami' in 'Saawariya' but 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'.
