Now, a video from the concert venue has surfaced online and since gone viral, showing Arijit proudly introducing Mahira to the audience while also apologising for failing to recognise her earlier. He is heard saying, “You guys must be surprised, should I reveal. I should reveal in a very nice way. Can we have camera there. I have been trying to recognise this person, then remembered I have sung for her. Ladies and gentlemen Mahira Khan sitting right infront 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. Maam gratitude and thank you so much.”
