I was trying to recognise this person, then remembered I had sung for her. Ladies and gentlemen Mahira Khan is sitting right in front 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. Ma'am gratitude and thank you so much.¡±

To this Mahira smiled and waved to the audience.
