Guess what, doston? Chennai just witnessed a musical jugalbandi that no one saw coming! Picture this: Ed Sheeran, the redhead troubadour from the UK, pulling a rabbit out of his hat by inviting none other than our own maestro, A.R. Rahman, on stage! Talk about a dhamaka! 🎶
When Ed Sheeran decided to surprise his audience in Chennai, he didn’t just stop at singing his chartbusters. Nahi nahi, he went full desi! Midway through his performance, he casually dropped, “Make some noise, everybody, for A.R. Rahman!” And lo and behold, out came Rahman sahab, looking all dapper in his blue jacket. The crowd? Bas, pagalpan!
As if that wasn’t enough, Rahman launched into his iconic track Urvasi Urvasi from the 90s hit Kadhalan. But wait, there’s more! Suddenly, Ed’s Shape of You blended seamlessly with Rahman’s beats. Aisa lag raha tha jaise music ka ek naya chapter likh diya ho! Ed couldn’t help but gush on Instagram, “What an honour @arrahman.” Check it out for yourself:
Social media pe to dhamal mach gaya! One fan hilariously remarked, “The collab no one asked for, but everyone wanted,” while another cheekily added, “Goddamn, I will say it again! Aadhar Card for Ed Bhai.” 😂 The internet was buzzing, and fans are calling this the highlight of Ed’s India tour so far.
But wait, there’s more! Ed didn’t stop at just one surprise. He also joined forces with a local Chennai choir for a soulful rendition of his song Perfect. Sharing his excitement, he mentioned, “Singing Perfect with the amazing choir at @kmmcchennai here in Chennai today, wowsers!”
Before all this musical magic, Ed even met with Rahman’s son, A.R. Ameen. The proud papa shared their candid moments on Instagram, including a snap of Ed snapping pics of Rahman at his console. Talk about a fanboy moment!
This tour, part of Ed’s Mathematics Tour, has him traveling across India, with stops already made in Pune and Hyderabad. Next up, Bengaluru, Shillong, and Delhi! Ye tour Ed’s fourth time in India hai, and it’s the grand finale of his Mathematics era. Fans, get ready for ek aur dhamakedar performance!
Kiran’s Gyan: Bollywood or Hollywood, music knows no boundaries. Kabhi kabhi, the best collaborations are the ones you never see coming. So, keep your ears open and your Aadhar Cards ready—Ed might just become our next desi ladka! 😉
