Coldplay's lead singer, Chris Martin, celebrated India's 76th Republic Day with a special tribute during their concert in Ahmedabad. Performing iconic songs like Vande Mataram and Maa Tujhhe Salaam, Martin left the audience mesmerised. The crowd responded with loud cheers as he honoured the nation with his soulful performance.
"Happy Republic Day, India!" Martin greeted the crowd at the Narendra Modi Stadium, where he wrapped up Coldplay’s India tour. He ended the concert with, "Salute to Mother India," and extended warm wishes to fans. The atmosphere inside the massive stadium, which holds over 1.25 lakh people, was electric as the show began right on time at 8 PM.
Midway through the performance, Martin surprised fans by addressing them in Hindi. "Dhanyawaad pyaare dosto... Ahmedabad me aake hum bohat khushi ho rahi hai," he said, receiving a roaring response. He then switched to Gujarati briefly before adding, "That is every Hindi word I ever learned in my whole life. So thank you."
