Ed Sheeran opens up on his love for India

Sheeran’s name is shining bright in the music industry and deservingly so. The singer is currently in India for the last leg of his Asia tour.

As Ed Sheeran narrated what he admires about India and its people, he said, “I really feel the love here, in India. Sometimes you can play in places and people can be very subdued. Like, even if they are feeling the vibe inside them, you can never read how people feel. I have played in certain countries where people have a subdued reaction, but here, in India, it’s a vibrant country. People are so excited! I have the same personality, so I like that.”

During the same conversation, the global singer spoke about his favourite Indian film. Heaping praises on SS Rajamouli’s RRR , Ed emphasised, “RRR. It’s mental. It’s an incredible film.” In another interview with Times Now, Ed also named the Indian singer he would like to collaborate with. Expressing his wish to work with King, popular for his song Maan Meri Jaan, Ed noted, “I have said this earlier, you know, I have been listening to a lot of King. So I thing King is great.”
