Mawra Hocane, who made her Bollywood debut ear lier this year with Sanam Teri Kasam was stopped from performing at a Himesh Reshammiya concert in Australia on October 15.

Show organiser Vvikas Paul informed Mirror that Akasa Singh who sang the song “Kheech Meri Photo“ for Sanam Teri Kasam was a part of the show in Sydney and Melbourne.“When Mawra saw the publicity posters, she approached me two days prior to the show, asking if she could share the stage with Akasa to perform on her song. We thought it was a good idea but Rakeshji (Rakesh Upadhyay, Himesh's business partner) insisted that they didn't want her on the stage so I politely declined her offer. I think she understood why it happened.“

Rakesh confirmed the news, saying, “We have worked with Rahat Fateh Ali Khan in Namastey London and in Bodyguard but owing to the current situation, the country comes first for us. Mawra tried to reach out to me too but I ignored her. I informed Himesh and he agreed with the decision.“
