Diljit Dosanjh revealed that Ed Sheeran rehearsed singing in Punjabi for three days before performing “Lover.” The collaboration between Diljit and Ed Sheeran in 2024 was a standout moment. Diljit, busy promoting “Amar Singh Chamkila,” shared an intriguing story about meeting and chatting with Ed Sheeran. During a recent interaction with comedian Anubhav Singh Bassi on Netflix India’s YouTube channel, Diljit discussed the challenges he faced convincing Ed Sheeran to sing in Punjabi.

Dosanjh mentioned, “It wasn’t my idea; he was very excited and rehearsed for two or three days. His band created the song and sent it to us a week or so before. Until the last moment, he thought if he couldn’t sing, I would continue. I thought if he managed to sing in Punjabi, it would be a first in his life.”

Dosanjh added, “No one ever expected Ed Sheeran to sing in Punjabi, so that was a big deal for me. On stage, I just listened to him and wanted him to sing more.”
