Ed Sheeran made a fun video with King Khan, where the star can be seen sweetly singing the hook line of the Sapphire song. The short clip begins with Ed self-recording, and Khan pops up from behind him.
The post also showcases Ed embracing Indian culture—singing in Hindi, getting a Punjabi tattoo, playing traditional Indian instruments, and engaging with college students performing a dance number to the track.
Ed also shared a candid picture with singer Arijit Singh. The two have previously shared the stage during Ed’s India concert. The British singer has also visited Singh at his Kolkata home.
Ed took to his feed to share glimpses from his recent India visit and explained every post in his caption:
“Sapphire Dumpington
On ze fun bus
These guys were some of the best musicians I’ve ever had the pleasure of recording with
Me and @arijitsingh having a coffee on a barge
Permanent ink so you know the love is real
They see me rolling
@iamsrk, love that guy so much
I learned bouzouki as a kid thinking it was an Irish instrument. Turns out all cultures use it
Flash mob dance in the café
Boy better know, CEO, shuhyuhmuh
I watched Baahubali in the cinema, so flipped out seeing the set
I love making music in India.”
