Hai Nawaz ,
Refer the following Link : https://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/az4se3k1(v=VS.90).aspx

toString() method accepts a format provider. So have like this
DateTimeFormatInfo info=CultureInfo.CurrentCulture.DateTimeFormat;
DateTime.Now.Day.ToString(info);

Try wih below code:
public static string ConvertDateCalendar(DateTime DateConv, string Calendar, string DateLangCulture)
{
    DateTimeFormatInfo DTFormat;
    DateLangCulture = DateLangCulture.ToLower();
    /// We can't have the hijri date writen in English. We will get a runtime error

    if (Calendar == "Hijri" && DateLangCulture.StartsWith("en-"))
    {
        DateLangCulture = "ar-sa";
    }

    /// Set the date time format to the given culture
    DTFormat = new System.Globalization.CultureInfo(DateLangCulture, false).DateTimeFormat;

    /// Set the calendar property of the date time format to the given calendar
    switch (Calendar)
    {
        case "Hijri":
            DTFormat.Calendar = new System.Globalization.HijriCalendar();
            break;

        case "Gregorian":
            DTFormat.Calendar = new System.Globalization.GregorianCalendar();
            break;

        default:
            return "";
    }

    /// We format the date structure to whatever we want
    DTFormat.ShortDatePattern = "dd/MM/yyyy";
    return (DateConv.Date.ToString("f", DTFormat));
}

DateTime dtq = new DateTime(2017, 08, 21);
string date = ConvertDateCalendar(dtq, "Hijri", "en-US");
