A few days ago, David Beckham attended a star studded Bollywood party, and this reminded netizens of the time when singer Ed Sheeran attended a similar party during his India tour a few years ago. Ed attended a star studded bash hosted by Farah Khan but in a recent chat, Farah revealed that she had no idea who Ed was, and had never heard his music. In a chat with Bharti Singh and Haarsh Limbachiyaa on their podcast, Farah shared that she had to ask Abhishek Bachchan who Ed Sheeran actually was.
She shared that a cousin of hers, who works as a lawyer at a music company, asked her if she could show Ed around Mumbai as he was travelling to India for his concerts. “I didn’t know who Ed Sheeran was so I thought it’s one of his friends. I didn’t bother,” she recalled. Her cousin asked her again and Farah ignored him again. When Farah’s aunt called her to ask about the same, she wondered why everyone was following up on the matter so she asked Abhishek Bachchan, “‘Who is Ed Sheeran?” Abhishek said ‘He’s just the number one singer in the world’.”
Farah recalled that at her party, she yelled at the DJ for playing ‘funeral music’, but turned out, it was Ed’s music only. “At the party, I was yelling at the DJ ‘Why are you playing funeral music?’ He said ‘Ma’am this is Ed Sheeran’s music’,” she recalled with a laugh.
Farah said that the Photograph singer had “so much fun” and “didn’t want to hear his own music, he wanted Bollywood music.” She added, “He left at 2 am as he had a concert the next day. He said I can stay here till morning but I have to perform tomorrow. The next day, he sent me 20 front row VIP passes for his show. But I didn’t go.”
Ed Sheeran toured India in 2017. He will be touring India in March 2024.
