Earlier, a video of Arijit apologising to Mahira after he failed to recognise her during the show went viral on social media. The singer had spotted the actor amidst the crowd while he was performing the song "Zaalima" from Mahira's 2017 Bollywood debut Raees, but wasn't able to identify her. He then gave a shout-out to Mahira, who was sitting in one of the front rows at the arena.

"You guys must be surprised, should I reveal? I should reveal it in a nice way. Can we have the camera there? I was trying to recognise this person, then remembered, I had sung for her. Ladies and gentlemen, Mahira Khan is sitting right before me," Arijit said. "Think about it, 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," he added.
Mahira, also popular in India for her Pakistani drama serials like Humsafar and Sadqay Tumhare, was then seen beaming at the gesture and waving at the camera. In "Zaalima," Arijit played Raees protagonist Shah Rukh Khan, and Harshdeep Kaur sang for Mahira. The song was composed by Pritam and penned by Amitabh Bhattacharya.
