On his YouTube channel, Ed Sheeran posted a video from his trip to India. He was spotted having a great time in Mumbai. Cricketer Shubman Gill and comedian Tanmay Bhat were with him.

Ed mentioned in their talk how thrilled he was to see Shah Rukh Khan that same day. Shubman revealed that he was a player for the Kolkata Knight Riders in the Indian Premier League. Then he encouraged Ed to find out why he was let off the team.

In the YouTube video, Ed, Tanmay, and Shubman were spotted at a restaurant enjoying Indian cuisine.

He said, “I am going to see Shah Rukh Khan tonight for dinner.” At this, Shubman said, “I used to play for his team.” When Ed expressed surprise that Shah Rukh owns a team, Tanmay tells him that Shubman used to play for his Kolkata Knight Riders IPL team.

Shubman then added, “Ask him why they did not retain me.” At this point, all three of them start laughing. Ed continues by saying that he has seen many of Shah Rukh’s films and that he has only met him once. “When I am travelling a lot, there’s always a Bollywood section on flights. So yeah, I’ve seen quite a few.”
