Duet Was The Idea of Ed Sheeran , says Diljit Dosanjh

Last month, during his highly anticipated Mathematics Tour, Ed Sheeran graced Mumbai with his musical prowess, igniting the crowd with his melodies. However, the pinnacle of the night came when Indian singer-actor Diljit Dosanjh joined him on stage, electrifying the atmosphere with an unforgettable performance. What set the audience into a frenzy was Ed Sheeran’s unexpected rendition in Punjabi, a suggestion he had enthusiastically embraced and diligently prepared for just days prior to their collaboration.

Diljit Dosanjh, amidst preparations for his upcoming musical drama film “Amar Singh Chamkila,” shared insights into his collaboration with the international sensation during a conversation with Netflix India. Contrary to popular belief, it wasn’t Dosanjh’s brainchild; rather, it was Ed Sheeran’s fervent desire. Dosanjh disclosed that Sheeran had dedicated several days to rehearsals, ensuring that their performance would resonate profoundly with the audience.

Reflecting on the unprecedented crossover, Dosanjh expressed his astonishment at Sheeran’s willingness to embrace the Punjabi language in his singing, a feat never before attempted by the renowned artist. Recalling their duet on Dosanjh’s track “Lover” during the Mumbai concert on March 16, Dosanjh remarked on the surreal experience of witnessing Sheeran effortlessly crooning in Punjabi, a moment he had never envisioned. He eagerly encouraged Sheeran to continue, thoroughly enjoying the spectacle of the international star delving into uncharted linguistic territories.

Dosanjh later shared a clip capturing Sheeran’s inaugural Punjabi performance, celebrating the milestone with a spirited caption, acknowledging Sheeran’s bold venture into the realm of Punjabi music.
