Ed Sheeran, known for his humble demeanor and love for authentic experiences, has once again won hearts during his visit to India. Currently in the country for
The Mathematics Tour
, Sheeran recently performed two electrifying shows in Bengaluru. But it wasn’t just his stage presence that grabbed attention—his impromptu adventure with Indian singer Arijit Singh has now become the talk of the town.
The British singer was spotted in Jiaganj, West Bengal, the hometown of Arijit Singh, where the duo surprised everyone by taking a casual scooter ride through the streets, completely devoid of security. Videos circulating on Instagram and X (formerly Twitter) show Arijit confidently steering the scooter while Ed Sheeran rides pillion, soaking in the sights and sounds of the quaint town. They were accompanied by a few friends on other scooters, creating a scene that fans couldn’t get enough of.
Social media erupted with excitement and admiration for the unexpected duo. One fan hilariously commented, “Bhai usko bhi simple life jeena sikha rahe hai,” implying that Arijit was teaching Ed how to enjoy the simple pleasures of life. Another user joked, “Arijit rescuing Ed from Bengaluru police shenanigans,” while others praised the natural vibe of the outing. “Two of the most goated singers of this generation casually riding on a scooty in Jiaganj,” one fan wrote, highlighting the surreal nature of the moment. Another user added, “Arijit Singh to Ed Sheeran be like: chalo aaj hamara gaon dikhata hu tumhe scooty me, ekdam pure natural hawa aayega,” imagining the casual, friendly banter between the two stars.
According to The Times of India, Arijit and Ed spent nearly five hours together exploring Jiaganj. Their adventure didn’t end with the scooter ride; they later enjoyed an hour-long boat trip on the Bhagirathi River, departing from Shibtala Ghat. The DIG of the area confirmed Ed Sheeran’s presence in the town and revealed that the singer had specifically requested no additional security during his visit, emphasizing his desire for an authentic experience.
This heartwarming and unexpected outing has only further endeared both singers to their fans, showcasing not just their musical genius but also their down-to-earth personalities.
