Could one of today’s hottest young singer-songwriters be making his acting debut in Bollywood? Ed Sheeran, the award-winning British singer of “The A Team” and “Thinking Out Loud” fame, might’ve just landed his first acting role.
After performing to a sold-out concert in Mumbai on March 1, the singer was invited by choreographer-turned-director Farah Khan to a party hosted by Abhishek Bachchan, the son of Bollywood acting royalty. The party was thrown to celebrate the nuptials of Abhishek’s cousin, Naina Bachchan, to Kunal Kapoor.

“It was a surprise when my cousin Zubin called me from London to say that Ed Sheeran was going to be in town and wanted to meet up with me and my Bollywood friends,” Farah Khan told the Daily Mirror. “It was very gracious of Abhishek to let me bring Ed and his team to his home.”
