Ed Sheeran waits for wife's 'good mood' before playing new songs to her
English singer-songwriter Ed Sheeran has a cardinal rule with regards to making his wife listen to new music.
The singer waits until his wife is in a good mood before he plays his new music to her, reports 'Female First UK'.
The 34-year-old singer, who has daughters Lyra, four, and Jupiter, two, with spouse Cherry, always looks to his family for feedback but admitted his childhood sweetheart can "kill" a song if she isn't instantly enthusiastic because he trusts her judgement.
Asked if he asks his family for their opinions on his songs, he told Kylie Kelce on her 'Not Gonna Lie' podcast, "100 percent. Yeah, 100 percent. Cherry can kill a song.
She can. I'm actually really careful to play her songs when she's in a good mood. Because if she's like, 'Eh', then in my mind, I'm like, 'Okay. That song's dead'. She's just got a very good taste and read on things. Like, even I would write, I'd say, three songs a day, five days a week.
And I'll come home and I'll play them. And she can sift through that pretty easily".
As per 'Female First UK', the singer recalled writing a number of songs on one particular day, including his 2021 single Bad Habits, and playing them back to Cherry.

He said, "I came home, I listened to them all in the car, and I was kind of excited about most of them. And I played them to her, and she was like, 'That one, that Bad Habits one, that's the one you should finish tomorrow'. She's got she's got a very good read on stuff".
Ed also believes his daughters have a "good read" on his music too and they often "gravitate" towards the songs that are popular with his younger fan base when Cherry plays his records while he's away on tour.

Who is Amal Sufiya, married to a star, her father-in-law is superstar, she works as...
Amal Sufiya, known for her graceful presence and quiet strength, has stayed away from the public spotlight. Though connected to a famous personality, she prefers a private life filled with simplicity and warmth, quietly inspiring many with her charm and grounded nature without seeking the limelight. Despite being associated with a prominent film family, Amal has carved her niche in the design world. Who is Amal Sufiya? Amal Sufiya is widely recognized as the wife of Malayalam star Dulquer Salmaan and daughter-in-law of superstar of the Mollywood industry, Mammootty. Born on September 5, 1989, in Chennai, Tamil Nadu, Amal hails from a North Indian Muslim family. Her father, Syed Nizamuddin, is a well-known businessman in Chennai. Raised in a culturally rich environment, Amal pursued her education in architecture, laying the foundation for her career in interior design. What does Amal Sufiya do? Amal has established herself as a proficient architect and interior designer, focusing on residential and boutique commercial spaces. Her designs are known for blending modern aesthetics with traditional influences, often reflecting the cultural heritage of Kerala and Tamil Nadu. While she maintains a low public profile, her work has garnered appreciation for its elegance and functionality. How did Amal Sufiya meet Dulquer Salmaan? Amal and Dulquer Salmaan's relationship began through an arranged marriage. At that time, Facebook played very important role in the starting phase of Dulquer and Amal's relationship. Dulquer, after meeting Amal by chance several times, thought it was a sign and decided to contact her on Facebook. This was the first step towards a more personal connection, which led to their first coffee date. Although their love story is often called a 'love-cum-arranged' marriage, with both families knowing and participating, Facebook served as the first platform for Dulquer to reach out to Amal and consider a relationship. However, Dulquer has admitted in many of his interviews that he had known Amal since their school days because, in terms of age, Dulquer is 5 years older than Amal Sufiya. They tied the knot on December 22, 2011, in a ceremony attended by close family and friends. The couple was blessed with a daughter, Maryam Ameerah Salmaan, on May 5, 2017. Despite Dulquer's fame in the film industry, Amal prefers to keep her personal life private, focusing on her family and career.

The incident happened at Dakkhingaon area in Assam's Guwahati in the early hours of Friday. Nandini was reportedly detained on Tuesday after the youth, Samiul Haque, passed away while undergoing treatment. Her arrest was officially recorded on Wednesday, following which Nandini was produced in court. According to news agency PTI, CCTV footage of the accident showed that not only was she speeding at the time, but did not even stop to check on the victim. Eyewitnesses claimed that she fled the scene immediately. She was, however, chased down and confronted by Samiul Haque's friends. Renowned for her lead role as Surabhi in director Roopak Gogoi's recent box office hit Rudra, Nandini Kashyap is also a prominent figure on social media, with over 52.5K followers on Instagram. According to her Facebook handle, she has been working in the film industry since 2018 as an actor, anchor, model and dancer. Belonging to Guwahati itself, she also goes by the name Nikita. After completing her basic education at Faculty Higher Secondary School, Amingaon, in her native place of Guwahati, she pursued a bachelor's degree at the University of Science & Technology, Meghalaya, located at Khanapara. She graduated from the university in 2021. Since 2018, she has been in the public domain and has appeared in a few music videos. However, it was in 2022 that she made her film debut, playing the lead role in the Assamese movie Janaknandini, helmed by her mother Kunjalta Gogoi Das. Also starring Gunjan Bhardwaj, Nrityacharjya Jatin Goswami, Arun Nath, Madhurima Choudhary, Ranjeev Lal Baruah and Rupam Baruh, Janaknandini was produced by Nandinee's parents, director Kunjalata Gogoi Das and husband Rinku Das, themselves.

Also featuring Ravi Sharma, Adil Hussain, Joy Kashyap and Arrchita Agarwaal in key roles, the movie was penned by director Roopak Gogoi. Rudra hit the screens on June 27. Although Nandini is currently in police custody, it is reported that this is not her first involvement in a vehicular offence, the difference this time being that it tragically resulted in the loss of a life. 'Kashyap's vehicle was penalised several times for speeding and many challans were issued in different districts,' Guwahati Police Deputy Commissioner (Traffic) Jayanta Sarathi Borah told PTI.
