Ed Sheeran or Edwinder Singh? Netizens rename British singer as he confesses his love for Bollywood, Tollywood movies
'I love it': British singer Ed Sheeran, who was recently in India for his latest album 'Play', shared that he watches loads of Bollywood and Tollywood (Telugu cinema) movies. 'I watch loads of Bollywood and Tollywood movies. No one makes movies like that. I love it,' the Sapphire singer said. This golden comment was discovered by a Redditor on Ed's post appreciating Bollywood singer Arijit Singh, who is said he discovered after watching Aashiqui 2. 'I first became aware of Arijit Singh music when i watched Aashiqui 2 and heard Tum Hi Ho. I was proper spellbound by his voice, the song, the scene in the movie,' Ed wrote in a post. Ed Sheeran was replying to a social media user who was surprised to learn that the British singer has watched Shraddha Kapoor's debut movie. 'Bro, in no world did you watch Aashiqui 2,' the user had said. Netizens, who were already convinced that he must get an Aadhar card for how Indian he was, renamed the British singer to 'Edwinder Singh'. Social media users also tried other Indian names that might have suited his Indian identity, including Ed Sharma, Ed Shreeram and more. Several users also appreciated his love for India and said, 'Ed just loves India. He really has a lot of fun here.' 'Idk about others, but Ed actually loves India and its culture,' said another user. A user highlighted that his love for India and Indian movies is 'genuine enough,' because 'He knows the difference between Bollywood and Tollywood, rather calling it Bollywood in total.' 'Bro was already harassed by Indian police, nothing makes him more Indian IMO,' quipped a user. Ed ran into trouble in Bengaluru while performing a concert on a sidewalk in the city in February. However, a sceptical user said, 'Whenever a foreign celebrity shows appreciation towards India, I kinda feel weird because I can't decide whether it is genuine or they are doing this just because India can be a big market for them, due to our massive population.'

The 'Stree' star posed with the owner and shared pictures of the caramel custard she had, along with the interiors of the restaurant. For the caption, she wrote: 'Next picnic kahan jaoon ??? #GhummakadModeOn.' On the professional front, reports claim that Shraddha will be joining hands with 'Tumbbad' maker Rahi Anil Barve for her next. Going by the reports, she has signed a multi-film contract with producer Ektaa Kapoor, who will also back the untitled drama. In addition to this, details regarding Shraddha's other untitled drama with Ektaa were also doing rounds on social media. This yet-to-be-titled movie is expected to mark the reunion of the beloved 'Aashiqui 2' pair of Shraddha and Aditya Roy Kapoor. However, an official confirmation is still awaited. Furthermore, it is being reported that Shraddha is in talks for the forthcoming installment of the popular 'Dhoom' franchise. The reports also suggest that she will be seen sharing the screen with her 'Tu Jhoothi Main Makkaar' co-star Ranbir Kapoor in her next. Again, no official announcement has been made till now.

It is the fourth instalment in the Maddock Horror Comedy Universe and serves as the sequel to the movie Stree, which released in 2018. Meanwhile, veteran actress Padmini Kolhapure recently opened up about the thoughtful approach her niece, Shraddha Kapoor, takes when selecting film roles. According to Padmini, the 'Stree' actress doesn't make decisions in isolation; instead, she carefully considers advice from her close family members before finalizing her choices. Speaking to IANS, Padmini shared that Shraddha often discusses potential projects with her mother, Shivangi Kolhapure; sister, Tejaswini, father Shakti Kapoor, and even Padmini herself. She mentioned that this collective support system helps the young actress weigh the pros and cons of each opportunity. Padmini revealed that despite taking input from her family, Shraddha ultimately trusts her own instincts. The 'Vidhaata' actress shared, 'Advice, in the sense Shraddha discusses. So, because she hears everybody, she kind of weighs the pros and cons, and then she goes ahead with her decisions in picking the films.' Padmini Kolhapure is Shraddha Kapoor's aunt.
