Farah Khan shared a hilarious anecdote from one of the Ed Sheeran parties she hosted.
Director-choreographer Farah Khan confessed she got badly drunk at the party she hosted for Ed Sheeran. Appearing on the Great Indian Kapil Show, Farah and Kapil opened up about one of the parties she hosted for Ed. Kapil claimed that Farah once invited Ed and then failed to recognise him. “Farah is such a great host that sometimes, she invites guests and then fails to recognise them. Once, Ed Sheeran had visited her. She didn’t recognise him,” Kapil said. Farah clarified that it wasn’t the case.
Instead, she failed to recognise his songs and ended up abusing the DJ playing his songs instead. “No, I recognised him, that’s not true. When Ed Sheeran had come, we all got a little drunk. The DJ was playing something. In my inebriated state, I went up to the DJ and abused him a little. I asked him, ‘Kya maiyyat ke gaane baja raha hai (Why are you playing these funeral songs)’. The DJ replied, ‘Ma’am, I am playing Ed Sheeran songs.’ I said, ‘Ok then, carry on,’” she said, breaking into a laugh.
Ed has visited India a couple of times and Farah has hosted two parties for him so far. The first party was held back in 2017. Farah had invited several Bollywood stars, including Malaika Arora, Abhishek Bachchan and Shah Rukh Khan. This year, when Ed returned to India, Farah joined SRK to host a dinner party for Ed at his Bandra home, Mannat. Videos and photos from their gathering went viral.
Meanwhile, Ed had also appeared on The Great Indian Kapil Show last week and spoke about meeting Shah Rukh Khan. “The last time I came here in 2017 we met, but this time it was just wonderful. He is such a nice guy, for how big he is, he is just lovely. I had a lot of fun, I met his family, and we jammed out some songs. They taught me how to dance a little bit,” Ed said.
