When Ed Sheeran performed at the Jio Gardens this Sunday, he won millions of hearts with his beautiful voice. What impressed the audience most was the 26-year-old singer’s adorabe blue kurta! While Ed indulged in Indian delicacies, toured a lot of places and what not, the thing that broke the internet was him attending Farah Khan’s Bollywood bash.
She hosted a party to honor the award winning singer and had Bolly-town’s biggest names over:
Life is great when @edsheeran loves the shape of me!! pic.twitter.com/L45vu6kpeE

While the celebs (including host Farah) painted their timelines red with their Ed Sheeran photo ops, Twitter noticed something was off. Ed looked plain awkward amongst all these celebs and Twitter users started pointing it out:
Ed Sheeran partying with Bollywood’s elite is morse coding us with dead eyes and plastic smiles, begging to be saved. pic.twitter.com/iPpkE0awsU

Poor thing. Being forced to be in the company of utterly vapid humans who probably don’t know anything beyond “Shape of You”.

Some users apologized on India’s behalf, because Bollywood.
Ed sheeran is in mumbai. Absolutely hate it that every major artiste is made to party with bollywood like its mandatory in India. Embarassing that Only they get to be the ones representing the vibe of the country

I can’t attend Ed Sheeran’s concert in Mumbai tomorrow coz I am broke But atleast it would be fun watching all Bollywood actors collectively embarass themselves with their attention seeking drama and terrible fashion sense from the sidelines pic.twitter.com/GDxLEpm6Pf

While all this was happening, Sona Mohapatra was quick to point out something that all of us agree with:
word : celebrity. No music maker, musician, songwriter or members of his actual fraternity obviously.. #Joke #PR #Mongering #wannabe #BollyLand . https://t.co/AUCMMKouct

How is no one discussing the fact that Ed Sheeran was made to meet random Bollywood celebs but didn’t get to meet any singer, songwriter, musician or anyone remotely related to his industry?!
Some Twitter users reckoned she raised the question due to sheer jealousy:
U r incredible !! U just want attention !!
— akash saini (@aka_5_h) November 22, 2017
Jealous! So you go to parties with pen and paper in your hand so you can get new ideas

Jealous ?

While some agreed:
Lol They were using him as Status symbol.

Like money attracts money..celebs attract celebs…unfortunately celebs in India are dominated by cinema and politics…cinema only recently accepting departmental prowess (music, production et al)
Good research paper topic..why India doesn’t produce MJS, Adeles and Coldplays— Rajkul (@rajkul23) November 22, 2017
