Singer-turned-actor Diljit Dosanjh has been enjoying the best phase of his career. In a recent interview, promoting his upcoming film Chamkila with director Imtiaz Ali, Diljit opened up about the Ed Sheeran concert where he managed to get the international popstar to sing in Punjabi. Diljit shared the story of what went behind in getting Ed Sheeran to do something that surprised his fans.
Talking about the preparations for Ed to sing in Punjabi, Diljit shared on Netflix India’s YouTube channel, “It wasn’t my idea, he was very excited and he had rehearsed for two or three days. His band had made the song and sent it to us a week or 10 days in advance. Till the last minute, he felt that if he could not sing, I should carry on. I thought if he managed to sing in Punjabi it would be the first time in his life that it would happen.”
Diljit further continued, “Nobody ever imagined Ed Sheeran would sing in Punjabi, so that was a big deal to me. On the stage too, I was just listening to him, I wanted him to sing more.”
Ed Sheeran performed at a concert in Mumbai on March 16 where he sang the song “Lover” with Diljit Dosanjh. This left many fans surprised as they did not expect such a crossover.
On the work front, Diljit has been delivering some great performances. He was recently seen in a supporting role in Kareena Kapoor, Tabu and Kriti Sanon starrer Crew. His next, Amar Singh Chamkila releases on April 12.
