Ed Sheeran is an artist who needs no introduction. His music has broken the barriers of language, culture and more. He has just wrapped up his Mathematics Tour in India, and today, he celebrates his birthday! Known for his amazing songs about love and life… and love in life, we take the help of 5 of Television’s incredible onscreen couples to celebrate him and his musical journey so far!
Love in Slow Motion – Abhira & Armaan aka #AbhiMaan
Taken from Ed’s fifth studio album’ =’, Love In Slow Motion is about cutting off the noise and just focusing on each other and the love shared between two people. Yeh Rishta Kya Kehlata Hai’s Abhira and Armaan have won hearts far and wide but their love story often gets caught up in certain circumstances. We dedicate this one to them, to shut out the world, even if for a few minutes, to simply embrace their love and the #AbhiMaan magic.
Give Me Love – Rishi & Lakshmi aka #RishMi
Give Me Love is from Sheeran’s debut album ‘+’, and this one is about a relationship that has fallen apart but there is hope that it can be fixed. Bhagya Lakshmi’s Rishi and Lakshmi are the couple who leave us feeling constantly anxious about whether their love story will ever reach fruition or not. As through various ploys, they are always separated and then there is hope after some time, and then it goes back. We love #RishMi nevertheless and this song is for them!
Photograph – Parineet & Rajeev aka #PariRaj
#PariRaj aka Parineet and Rajeev are clear about their feelings for each other but often cannot be with each other due to some reason or the other in Parineetii. What draws them closer to each other each time is the memories they have with each other and the belief they have in each other’s love. Taken from Ed’s second studio album ‘×,’ Photograph captures the essence of holding memories close to give the needed strength to find each other again.
Thinking Out Loud – Kartik & Lakshmi aka #KaShmi
From his second album, ‘×,’ Thinking Out Loud beautifully captures the magic of eternal love. As life throw’s many challenges, it’s a promise between two lovers to keep loving and being there for the other throughout their journey of life. We think Mangal Lakshmi’s Kartik and Lakshmi adored as #KaShmi have a strong potential to be such a couple, as their unique pair is one of understanding and growing love. Bonus point here is that Kartik is himself a singer, so he’s used to thinking out loud literally!
Perfect – Amruta & Virat aka #AmVira
Kaise Mujhe Tum Mil Gaye’s Amruta and Virat remain poles apart in terms of personalities, but with time and their growing love, they have learned to accept each other for who they are and find the beauty in each other’s imperfections. Perfect from Sheeran’s third studio album ‘÷,’ captures exactly this and we think it’s perfect for #AmVira too!
Wishing Ed Sheeran a Happy Birthday, and may his music keep inspiring generations to come!
