Ed Sheeran shares moments with Shah Rukh Khan, Arijit Singh and ‘Baahubali' set ahead of ‘Sapphire' release
British singer-songwriter Ed Sheeran has shared new photos and videos from his recent visit to India, ahead of the release of his upcoming single Sapphire. The post, shared on his official social media accounts, includes moments with Bollywood actor Shah Rukh Khan, singer Arijit Singh, and a visit to the set of the S.S. Raajamouli's Baahubali.
In one of the videos, Sheeran is seen singing the hook line of Sapphire alongside Shah Rukh Khan. The short clip has already gained significant attention online. '@iamsrk, love that guy so much,' Sheeran wrote in the caption.
This marks another meeting between Sheeran and Khan, following a previous interaction where they were seen dancing together to Deewangi Deewangi from Om Shanti Om and mimicking the actor's signature pose. Sheeran's fondness for India and its entertainment industry has been a recurring theme in his tours.
Another photo in the post shows Sheeran with Arijit Singh, whom he's always maintained as a good friend. The two are seen having coffee together on a barge.
The post, which Sheeran captioned 'Sapphire dumpington,' includes a variety of images from his trip. Among the other highlights is a picture of him sitting on the throne from the set of Baahubali, directed by S.S. Rajamouli. 'I watched Baahubali in the cinema so flipped out seeing the set,' Sheeran noted.
Sheeran also shared other experiences from his time in India, including getting a tattoo in Punjabi and meeting several local musicians.
Sapphire is the third single from his forthcoming album Play, set to release on June 5. It follows the earlier releases of Old Phone and Azizam.

'This also happened': Meghan Markle shares labour dance video to mark daughter's 4th birthday
Meghan Markle and Prince Harry dancing Meghan Markle on Wednesday released an unusual video, showing herself dancing while in labour with Lilibet, four years ago. The 43-year-old Duchess of Sussex shared the recording on Instagram to commemorate her daughter's fourth birthday. Meghan wrote alongside the video: "Four years ago today, this also happened. "Both of our children were a week past their due dates… so when spicy food, all that walking, and acupuncture didn't work - there was only one thing left to do!" The mother-of-two appeared dancing to The Drake Family's rendition of Starrkeisha's The Baby Momma Dance. Meghan performed a hip-shaking routine and executed a spin beside her hospital bed. Prince Harry made an amusing cameo wearing a grey hooded top. He moved across the space before performing a synchronised squat with Meghan. The pair appeared at ease while recording their dance routine during their wait for Lilibet's arrival. Before the the dance video, the Duchess had made another Instagram post showing her child as a newborn held by Prince Harry, after the first post showing Lilibet's latest look while hugging her whishing her happy birthday. "Happy birthday to our beautiful girl! Four years ago today she came into our lives - and each day is brighter and better because of it," she wrote. The celebration will likely occur privately at their California residence, maintaining their practice of sharing select moments of their children's milestones via social media, according to reports from The Sun. Meghan and Harry's daughter holds seventh position in the British throne succession. Her 2021 birth occurred during Queen Elizabeth II's reign, whose childhood nickname was Lilibet. This name originated when then-Princess Elizabeth couldn't pronounce her name correctly. King George V adopted Lilibet as an affectionate nickname, which became used amongst close family. Harry and Meghan are raising Lilibet and Archie in an exclusive Montecito neighbourhood.

TNPL 2025 kicks off tomorrow, Shahrukh's Kings to take on Ashwin's Dragons in opener
Coimbatore, June 4 (UNI) IPL GT star Shahrukh Khan-led Lyca Kovai Kings will lock horns with R Ashwin's Dindigul Dragons in a rematch of last year's final to kickstart the 9th edition of the Shriram Capital-Tamil Nadu Premier League at the Sri Ramakrishna College of Arts and Science Cricket Ground here on Thursday night. Dindigul denied Kovai Kings a hat-trick of crowns (joint-winners in 2022), as Ashwin turned in a splendid all-round performance in a low-scoring contest to help his side secure their maiden title. Meanwhile, Chepauk Super Gillies, the most-decorated franchise with four trophies, will begin their campaign on Friday against iDream Tiruppur Tamizhans in what is India's longest-running regional T20 league. Adding excitement to Season 9 are the new-look squads following February's mega auction after the eight franchises were allowed to retain a maximum of five players each. Among the prominent movements were pacer M Mohammed to SKM Salem Spartans, left-arm spinner Swapnil Singh to Chepauk Super Gillies and toporder batters U Mukilesh and J Suresh Kumar to Trichy Grand Cholas, while all-rounder Vijay Shankar returns to Chepauk Super Gillies. With Sai Sudharsan picked for India's Test tour of England, exciting teenager Andre Siddharth will be expected to play a key role for his new franchise, Kovai Kings. At a press conference on Wednesay, Kovai Kings' head coach J Hariesh said his side will also miss the services of all-rounder RS Ambrish, away with the India U-19 team, who 'would have taken the No 6 slot.' Among other franchise news, all-rounder Washington Sundar, also picked for the England Test tour, will not be available for Trichy Grand Cholas, while former UAE wrist-spinner Karthik Meiyappan, who has now moved to his birth place Chennai, will don Siechem Madurai Panthers colours. All eight franchises appear balanced, given the reshaping of squads at the mega auction, and this promises exciting and close matches this season. 'Teams can look strong on paper, but what happens during the match decides everything,' Dindigul spinner Varun Chakravarthy said. It took Dindigul eight seasons to secure their maiden crown after runner-up finishes in 2018 and 2019, and the side is looking to extend their supremacy. 'We have a trophy to defend and make a statement this year by winning it two times in a row,' India spinner Chakravarthy added. Kovai Kings' skipper Shahrukh felt a good season boils down to the 'process that we put in place and the brand of cricket that we play.' 'It's a fresh start, really, because barring the five players that were retained, most of the others are new to the side,' Shahrukh, last edition's Player of the Tournament, said at the press meet. After a week in Coimbatore (until June 11), the action will shift to the Salem Cricket Foundation ground (June 13-19), followed by CSK ground in Tirunelveli (June 21-26) before moving to the NPR College ground in Dindigul for the business end, with the final on July 6. The 32-match season will also feature six double headers, with the afternoon game commencing at 3.15 p.m. N Jagadeesan (Chepauk Super Gillies, 2260) and Sai Kishore (IDream Tiruppur Tamizhans, 78 wickets) are the tournament's leading run-getter and wicket-taker respectively, while Shivam Singh (Dindigul Dragons, 364) and M Poiyamozhi (SKM Salem Spartans,16 wickets) topped the charts last year. Matches will be broadcast live on Star Sports 1 Tamil and Star Sports 2 and live- streamed on FanCode. UNI GV 2135
