The singer took the mic on stage and expressed genuine astonishment over her presence. The singer candidly said, “You guys must be surprised, should I reveal. I should reveal it in a very nice way.

With great fanfare and humility to match, he continued, “Ladies and gentlemen, Mahira Khan 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.”
Touched with a heart-warming reaction from the singer, Mahira Khan responded with a smile and waved to the audience. She later took to Instagram to share the highlights of the events in a reel.
“I wasn’t meant to be here for this…but…I guess I was. You know what I mean?” said Mahira on Instagram alongside the video. “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.”
