Temples, Marine Drive & Music: Everything That Coldplay Did In Mumbai

On Saturday, January 18, Coldplay's frontman Chris Martin won hearts at Mumbai’s DY Patil Stadium by reading out a placard that said “Jai Shree Ram” during the British band’s electrifying concert. Adding to the crowd’s delight, he expressed his gratitude in Hindi, saying “shukriya” after finishing one of the songs, creating a memorable connection with his Indian audience.

Accompanying him on the India tour, actor Dakota Johnson embraced the spiritual essence of the visit. Ahead of the concert, the couple paid their respects at Mumbai’s iconic Shri Babulnath Temple.

For the temple visit, the duo opted for ethnic Indian attire. Dakota looked graceful in a printed Ajrakh suit by Anita Dongre, while Chris kept it traditional in a kurta. Netizens lauded Dakota for her thoughtful gesture of covering her head with a dupatta inside the temple, showcasing her respect for Indian traditions. Chris too embraced the cultural vibe, accessorizing with a Rudraksha mala.

A viral video on social media also captured a heartwarming moment of Dakota Johnson whispering prayers into Nandi's ear.
