Ed Sheeran soaks in Bollywood Blues with his desi look

“You know I have made no secret of my love for India, ever,” said Ed Sheeran as the eclectic audience cheered on. Point taken, rockstar. You’ve made your fascination with all things desi more than glaringly evident with your concert in Mumbai that was nothing short of a magical.

Did you know that an estimated 10,000 fans attended the event at Mumbai’s Jio Gardens, Bandra Kurla Complex? Woah! And names like Lopamudra Raut, Pooja Hegde, Ram Kapoor, Aarav Kumar and Akash Ambani came out in hordes to welcome the hitmaker. In fact, just a day before the concert, the musician also let his hair down with Bollywood A-listers such as Shah Rukh, Shahid Kapoor and wife Mira, Raveena Tandon, Malaika Arora and Neha Dhupia at the much-publicised party that was hosted by director Farah Khan.

Well, we all have unashamedly listened to his chartbuster “Shape of You” probably a million times (we still can’t get over the Instagram video of Sushmita Sen and daughter Alisah grooving  to the number), but the moment Ed Sheeran stepped onto the stage, he won more than a million hearts with his desi swagger. His scintillating voice, humble persona and well, the fact that he sang live on stage (let’s not even get to how Justin Bieber’s lip-syncing flabbergasted us), made him oh-so-charming. What’s more? The artist had planned a surprise as well that took the B-town by storm.

He amped up his magnetism in this kickass blue kurta that almost matched the colour of his eyes and made everyone go “aww.” He went out of his way to pay tribute to India and all things Bollywoody in this number by Farzana Cama Balpand, who heads BookMyShow’s Charity initiative BookASmile. The coolest part? The word Divide was written in Hindi on the back as well as the sides of the kurta. To say that he wore it well would be an understatement.

Ed, we’re already gushing over your voice, and now this desi vibe is only making us fall in love with you all over again. No wonder B-town was smitten by him. We feel you, Bollywood, we do.
