"What a pleasure it is to watch an artist perform"
A heartwarming moment between Bollywood playback sensation Arijit Singh and Pakistani superstar Mahira Khan has captivated social media users.
This happened after the EMIGALA Awards.
The viral clip captures Mahira enjoying Arijit’s musical performance in Dubai.
The singer was pleasantly surprised to recognise the esteemed actress among the audience.
In the video, Arijit can be seen addressing the audience, expressing genuine astonishment upon spotting Mahira.
Initially unable to identify her, the singer candidly admitted:
“You guys must be surprised, should I reveal. I should reveal it in a very nice way. Can we have a camera there?
“I have been trying to recognise this person, then remembered I have sung for her.”
Continuing with humility and gratitude, Arijit acknowledged Mahira’s presence, saying:
“Ladies and gentlemen, Mahira Khan is sitting right in front of me.
“Think about how 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 graciously acknowledged the musician’s gesture with a warm smile, endearing herself to fans across borders.
She later shared a reel on Instagram, highlighting the memorable interaction.
The caption read: “I wasn’t meant to be here for this… but… I guess I was.
“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, Arijit.”
