A section of netizens called out Arijit for his unprofessional behaviour given how fans pay an exorbitant amount to watch him sing live. 


One user wrote, "This is not called humble, this is unhygienic." "Nothing cool about it. His outfit and this act are both unwittingly to how he should carry himself. Pathetic," added another. "He should have done it before the concert, highly unprofessional, and who gets nail cutters to concerts? Crazy stuff," wrote one user. 


However, some fans defended him stating, “This happened at the Dubai concert recently and I was there! He had difficulties with playing the guitar and hence had to cut his nails.”

Arijit, who is known for hits including 'Tum Hi Ho,' 'Raabta, Kabira,' and 'Chaleya,' had a live performance at Dubai's Coca-Cola Arena on Sunday.

Earlier, a video from the gig went viral on the internet in which Arijit could be seen apologising to Mahira, who was seated in the audience, for not recognising her at first instance. Wearing an elegant black outfit, Mahira Khan graced the audience with a wave.

Arijit had lent vocals to a superhit song 'Zaalima' in Mahira Khan's Bollywood debut 'Raees', which was headlined by superstar Shah Rukh Khan. The film was released in 2017.

From his humble beginnings to becoming one of Bollywood's most sought-after playback singers, the journey of Ariijt is nothing short of inspiring.

Born on April 25, Arijit's passion for music was evident from a young age. Hailing from a musical family in Murshidabad, West Bengal, his talent found its first platform in the reality show 'Fame Gurukul' in 2005, where he captivated audiences with his performances. Though he didn't win the show, it was merely a stepping stone to the illustrious career that awaited him.

His breakthrough came with the song 'Tum Hi Ho' from the film 'Aashiqui 2' in 2013, which catapulted him to overnight stardom. The haunting melody and Arijit's emotive rendition struck a chord with listeners, making it an instant classic and earning him widespread acclaim. Since then, there has been no looking back for this musical prodigy.
