Ed Sheeran offers clarification in Bengaluru police intervention case

Mumbai, Feb 9 (IANS) Global pop sensation Ed Sheeran recently ran into trouble with the Bengaluru police after they stopped his impromptu street performance midway. The police claimed they had to intervene as they had not received prior permission for the performance.

Now, Ed Sheeran has shared his reaction to the incident, stating that the necessary permissions for the performance were in place. Taking to the Stories section of his Instagram, he wrote, “We had permission to busk, btw, hence us playing in that exact spot-it was planned out before. It wasn’t just us randomly turning up. All good though. See ya at the show tonight x.”

Ed Sheeran arrived opposite the MG Road Metro station on Church Street, where two microphones and a guitar had been set up for the performance. According to a video circulating on social media, as the singer started performing an unplugged version of his popular track “Shape of You”, a police officer arrived and disconnected the speakers, stopping his performance.

If reports are to be believed, the police had also received a complaint of public nuisance against the singer.

The video gained significant traction online. One Reddit user commented, “Hahaha. One of those ‘Only in India’ moments.” Another shared, “It’s just very embarrassing.”

While some criticized the police for stopping the singer, others argued that they were simply doing their job.

Ed Sheeran will be performing a concert today, February 9, 2025, at Bengaluru’s NICE Grounds. This marks the first time the singer has performed in Bengaluru.

After completing the Bengaluru leg of his tour, Sheeran will perform at Shillong’s JN Stadium on February 12. His final stop will be on February 15 at Leisure Valley Grounds, Gurugram.

Jitendra Kumar reflects on his dual identity as Jeetu Bhaiya and Sachiv Ji

Mumbai, July 20 (IANS) In the era of overconsumption, when the audience is often not able to resonate with characters, actor Jitendra Kumar has managed to deliver not one but two iconic roles- Sachiv ji from “Panchayat” and Jeetu Bhaiya from “Kota Factory”.

During an exclusive interaction with IANS, Jitendra revealed which of these characters is more popular amongst the viewers.

He was asked, “You have done not one but two roles which have resonated deeply with the audience- Sachiv ji from Panchayat and Jeetu Bhiya from Kota Factory. When you step out, which of these characters are you addressed as more often?”

Reacting to this, Jitendra told IANS, “I think Jeetu Bhaiya is a bit more popular, but people often end up mixing the two worlds.”

Citing an example, he added, “If someone wants to tell me something, they call me Jeetu Bhaiya, but in the same breath, they say,”will Jeetu Bhaiya be able to move on from Rinki or not?” So, they end up mixing both worlds. I think they have a hangover of both the shows, but ‘Jeetu Bhaiya’ comes more easily to them compared to Sachiv ji”.

When asked which of these characters he likes better, Jitendra said, “It is very difficult to choose as both these characters are very different from one another, but given that Panchayat season 4 has just released, it is my favourite at the moment.”

Set against the backdrop of rural India, “Panchayat” narrates the journey of Abhishek (played by Jitendra Kumar), who works as the Secretary of Gram Panchayat in Phulera village.

Unhappy with village life, Abhishek starts to prepare for competitive exams while staying inside the Panchayat office. However, during his stay, Abhishek befriends Pradhan-Pati (essayed by Raghubir Yadav), the village Pradhan (essayed by Neena Gupta), Prahlad cha (Faisal Malik) and Vikas, Office Assistant of Gram Panchayat (played by Chandan Roy).

On the other hand, Jitendra plays an inspiring NEET teacher, Jeetu Bhaiya, in “Kota Factory”.
