Jiaganj witnessed an unforgettable sight as global pop sensation Ed Sheeran and India’s beloved singer Arijit Singh took to the streets and waters, blending music with adventure.
On Tuesday afternoon, an unexpected spectacle unfolded at Shibatala Ghat in Jiaganj. As a boat stood moored by the riverbank, a group of foreigners, including Arijit Singh, made a surprise appearance. With cameras rolling and excitement in the air, the boat set sail towards the historic Char Bangla temples in Agimganj Baranagar.
For boatman Sanjay Haldar, the day was nothing short of surreal. Tasked with ferrying two of the world’s most celebrated artists, he found himself at the heart of an extraordinary moment. As the boat gently cruised along the Bhagirathi River, stopping intermittently for what seemed to be a shoot, Sanjay couldn’t help but soak in the once-in-a-lifetime experience.
Adding to the thrill, Arijit Singh was later seen zipping through Jiaganj’s roads on a scooter, with none other than Ed Sheeran riding pillion. The duo’s carefree ride through the town was a sight to behold, as they blended seamlessly into the simplicity of everyday life. Fans and onlookers were left stunned, capturing glimpses of the two megastars relishing the small-town charm.
Speculations are rife that the two singers are working on an upcoming music video, with Jiaganj serving as the picturesque backdrop. While no official confirmation has been made, the excitement among fans is already soaring.
Ed Sheeran, who had arrived in Kolkata from Bengaluru on Monday morning, wasted no time and headed straight to Jiaganj. His whirlwind visit was met with much enthusiasm, particularly from Arijit Singh, who appeared to be thrilled about playing host. Sheeran is set to depart for Shillong on Monday night for his next concert, but his impromptu escapade with Arijit in Jiaganj has already etched itself into musical folklore.
For the people of Jiaganj, this was more than just a celebrity sighting—it was a moment that put their town on the global map, proving once again that music knows no boundaries.
