Ed Sheeran and John Abraham kick off new friendship over football

New Delhi (The Uttam Hindu): Ed Sheeran’s India tour has been making headlines for a series of exciting moments with his latest social media post—his “third India dump”—showcasing his unique experiences. The singer shared photos of his interactions with Bollywood actor John Abraham, including a visit to a girls' football club in Shillong where Ed gave out pink t-shirts to the team. Fans were thrilled to see the duo together, with one calling it “the most unexpected collab of 2025 (in terms of Indian football).”

The photo dump also revealed a variety of other highlights from Sheeran's tour. He shared a midnight scooter ride with singer Arijit Singh in Jiaganj, West Bengal and a picture of himself wearing Shane Warne’s Rajasthan Royals jersey. Ed also posted a touching moment with his father, where they went out for Indian food in Mumbai.

In his post, Ed humorously described each photo, including: his warm down after a performance, giving football shirts to kids and taking his dad on a date. His fans were left in awe of how he managed to travel across India, from Goa and Mumbai to West Bengal villages, while working on new music and performing across South India. One fan even joked, "I wouldn’t be shocked if this guy moves to India permanently."

The singer’s whirlwind journey across the country, engaging with local culture and connecting with Indian stars, has sparked excitement among fans. His tour continues to be a mix of music, football and unforgettable moments, cementing his place as a global star in India.
