Mahira Khan has nothing but praise for Arijit Singh. Reportedly, she mentioned that she hadn’t planned to attend the concert but found it a pleasure to watch Arijit Singh perform. She expressed in her social media post, “I wasn’t supposed to be here for this… but… I guess I was. You know what I mean? What a joy it is to witness an artist’s performance… spinning in delight, surrounded by love. But beyond that, it’s beautiful to see humility in an artist… because he knows, it’s not just him… he’s simply been blessed from above. Stay blessed @arijitsingh Wah!”
Mahira Khan, one of the prominent figures in the Pakistani film industry, made her Bollywood debut with “Raees.” Her chemistry with Shah Rukh Khan was adored by many. However, due to the India-Pakistan conflict, Mahira’s Bollywood career was cut short as artists from across the border were banned from performing and working in India. Although not in India, Mahira Khan’s pictures with Ranbir Kapoor had previously gone viral on social media. She has remained in the limelight as she often praises Shah Rukh Khan, one of Bollywood’s biggest stars.
