How Arijit Singh inspired Ayushmann Khurrana’s first performance
Ayushmann Khurrana shares how Arijit Singh's request led to his first live performance in front of 50,000 fans, sparking his passion for stage shows.
In a recent concert held in Dubai, the talented singer Arijit Singh found himself in an amusing situation that quickly became the talk of the town, especially among fans in India and Pakistan. During his performance, a moment caught on camera showed Arijit extending a heartfelt apology to none other than Pakistani actor Mahira Khan, who was among the audience members.
It seemed Arijit had initially failed to recognize her presence. In a candid moment, he shared with the crowd his realization, saying, “You guys must be surprised… I have been trying to recognize this person, then remembered I have sung for her.” It turned out that Mahira Khan, known for her roles in Pakistani television series and the Bollywood movie ‘Raees’, was seated right in front of him.
