Khetarpal later shared her experience on Instagram, where she described the moment as more than a coincidence. “God sends signs, and tonight’s Arijit Singh concert was proof. As soon as he started singing his emotional songs, memories of my ex flooded back...In that moment, Arijit—without knowing why I was crying—sang, consoled, and said, ‘forgive and forget.’ It felt like God was speaking through him in that moment,” she wrote.

"I’m sure some of you can relate, while others may not. Tonight’s concert will forever be a core memory to re-write ‘love’ & start a new story. Sharing this because God truly sends signs; we just have to pause and listen!" she added.
