As Sapphire goes viral, old video of Ed Sheeran talking about failure resurfaces: ‘Success teaches you nothing'
'Success teaches you nothing,' said Ed Sheeran in an old video, talking about the importance of failure. The video resurfaces on social media after the massive success of his latest release, 'Sapphire', with Bollywood singer Arijit Singh. Sapphire is a part of Sheeran's album 'Play'. The Punjabi version of their song will be released in the coming weeks. In the video, Ed Sheeran weighed on the importance of failure and the lessons it reaches. The singer said he feels annoyed that no one talks about failure anymore. 'It's like failure is shame.' He added that the success, the lessons and everything comes from failures. 'There's nothing in success; success happens from failing, hundreds of times. You have to have people laugh at you and go, 'Oh come on, get a real job',' Ed said. He also added that despite the failure and the people laughing at you for your choices, one has to 'have belief that eventually, it is going to get better.' In another older video that has resurfaced since Sapphire, Ed Sheeran is seen candidly embracing his past failures, sharing how each misstep has helped him grow and improve over time. In the clip from a talk show, the singer shared an audio with the audience on how bad his singing was when he was younger. Netizens resonated with the singer and said the advice was 'solid'. 'Brother is hitting the solid ground. Talk to me sir,' a social media user said. Another added, 'Journey not the destination but it's better if it's what you dreamt for.' 'Such beauty the endurance and beauty to withstand the whole gift here not just half,' said a fan. 'Failure, failure, failure and the successes will come!!!!' another added. However, a user said, 'I think people listen about failures only after they succeed because they didn't have the audience before that.' Some users even had contradictory view and said, 'He's false. You learn a lot from success as well. Success teaches you what worked, what you can achieve if you don't give up and work hard. You learn from both.' Sapphire has been described as a cross-cultural fusion. The track combines Western pop with Punjabi beats and features two of India's biggest names: Bollywood superstar Shah Rukh Khan and celebrated singer Arijit Singh. Shot entirely in India, Sapphire's video takes viewers on a vibrant visual tour — from the majestic sets of Baahubali to the streets of Kolkata and Hyderabad. Sheeran is seen travelling on local buses, dancing with locals, enjoying café moments, and standing quietly by the Hooghly river. Filmed in a point-of-view style, the video gives fans the feeling of being on the journey with him. Ed also shared a heartfelt story of his collaboration with Arijit and called him 'one of the most talented humans' he's ever met.

‘Housefull 5' box-office: Akshay Kumar comedy holds strong, netts ₹116.68 in India
Holding its momentum at the box-office, Tarun Mansukhani's Housefull 5 has netted ₹116.68 crore in Indian theatres in five days. The film has stolen a march on Sky Force and Kesari Chapter 2, two other Akshay Kumar releases from this year, to become the fourth-highest grossing Hindi film of 2025. Kumar appears to have bounced back after a dry spell in theatres. In Housefull 5, a franchise he has headlined since 2010 alongside Riteish Deshmukh, Kumar plays one of the three 'Jollys' implicated in a murder. The comedy caper, which also features Abhishek Bachchan, Jacqueline Fernandez and others, piqued curiosity by offering two endings to the audience. The film was released in two versions — Housefull 5A & 5B — in theatres, each featuring a different killer in the climactic reveal. According to official numbers shared by the makers, Housefull 5 collected ₹11.70 crore on Tuesday and ₹13.15 crore on Monday. It made a killing over its first weekend, netting a collection of ₹91.83 crore in India. Housefull 5 also features Nana Patekar, Sonam Bajwa, Nargis Fakhri, Chitrangada Singh, Fardeen Khan, Chunky Pandey, Johnny Lever, Shreyas Talpade, Dino Morea, Ranjeet, Soundarya Sharma, Nikitin Dheer, and Akashdeep Sabir. Jackie Shroff and Sanjay Dutt appear in special cameos, as does Bobby Deol. The film is produced by Sajid Nadiadwala under the banner of Nadiadwala Grandson Entertainment.

Passenger announces India tour with three city stops: Here's everything to know
If there's one song that's etched itself into the global heartbreak anthem hall of fame, it's Let Her Go. Behind that voice is Michael Rosenberg, better known as Passenger, the singer from Brighton, UK, who's finally set to serenade Indian audiences live for the very first time. Yes, you heard that right! Passenger is officially making his India debut as part of his Asia tour. With shows lined up in three major cities — Delhi-NCR on November 19 (DLF CyberHub), Mumbai on November 21 (Phoenix Marketcity, Kurla), and Bengaluru on November 22 (Phoenix Marketcity) — this visit marks a new chapter for the artist and his Indian listeners alike. Tickets go live on June 17, 2025, at 10 AM IST, and given Passenger's cult following, they're expected to sell out quickly. Originally a five-member band formed in 2003, Rosenberg continued using the name after the group disbanded in 2009. He moved to Australia before releasing his solo album Flight of the Crow. But everything changed with Let Her Go, a song that was written with the simplicity of an acoustic guitar. The track catapulted him into international stardom in 2012, eventually earning a Brit Awards nomination.
