"we already have collaborated two years back."
Armaan Malik opened up about his bond with Ed Sheeran.
The British singer was in India for his Mumbai concert and was seen with various Indian celebrities.
In a video, he and Armaan danced to ‘Butta Bomma’.
Ed also expressed his admiration towards Armaan’s music.
Discussing their friendship, Armaan also delved into whether he will collaborate with Ed in the future.
He said: “An interesting thing is that we already have collaborated two years back.
“I did a Hindi verse on his song called ‘2step’, and that’s the first time that we connected.
“He told me that in 2024 I am going to do a concert in Mumbai, I am going to see you there, and then obviously he kept his promise.
“When he was down here for the concert, I got to spend a little time with him.”
Revealing that Ed is excited to do more work in India, Armaan Malik continued:
“We had multiple conversations about music, where the music is headed.
“He is very excited to do a lot more things in India.”
“He shared a little bit of his music with me, I shared a little bit of my music with him, all our unreleased stuff as musicians always do when they catch up.
“I just have to say that he is the humblest superstar I have ever met, despite the mammoth achievements that he has garnered and achieved in his life as a musician, as an artist.
“Despite all of that, he is such a humane person, he is very simple at heart, and I think that’s what touched me the most, and in a way inspired me to be someone like him.
“I think he and I got together on the stage, we did ‘2step’, the song that I was talking about, we performed that, and I hope to do more and more collaborations with him because he is just a lovely human being.
Armaan continued to praise Ed Sheeran.
“For me, more than anything else, connecting with like-minded artists’ energies is so important and I felt like I found a brother in life, you know, a brother in Ed, and I think he feels the same as well.
“We had a good few days together and I am glad I could take him out to have Indian food. He loves butter chicken, which I think he posted in the reel also.
“He has had 10-12 dishes on this trip that he came for.
“But yeah, I found a brother in him and I think that’s very rare to say when you have just met someone for the very first time properly and hung out with them.
“So, you know how much of an impact he has had on me for me to be able to say that.”
