Diljit not only sang his popular track 'Lover' but also got Ed Sheeran to sing in Punjabi and it was quite a moment

On Monday, Diljit took to his social media handle to share some BTS pictures that led to the collaboration between the two for the first time

Diljit opted for an all-denim look for the rehearsals at the Mahalaxmi racecourse before the big night. Ed was seen in his trademark white t-shirt and shorts for the rehearsals

Talking about Ed Sheeran and the evening, Dosanjh said: "It was wonderful performing with Ed Sheeran last evening. He truly knows how to work a crowd. He is such a giving artiste and sharing the stage with him was a real joy and an absolute honour. Whoever said language is a barrier needs to know that music is a language of its own"
