Ed Sheeran and Arijit Singh recently joined forces for the track ‘Sapphire’ and it turned out to  be a massive success. However, did you know Ed Sheeran was once approached to sing a version of the Aashiqui 2 (2013) song ‘Tum Hi Ho’ with Arijit Singh for a movie? Yes, you read that right! The ‘Perfect’ singer recalled he once met with T-Series as they wanted him to sing ‘Tum Hi Ho’ with Arijit Singh. While it’s unclear whether the project ever moved forward, Ed Sheeran revealed that he was mighty impressed by the song. Ed clarified that he was approached “a while ago” and admitted he has no idea whether the movie the song was intended for is still being made.

When Ed Sheeran Was Approached For Tum Hi Ho Collab With Arijit Singh

While speaking with BBC Asian Network, Ed Sheeran said, “There was one time I met with T-Series. And they wanted me to do a version of Tum Hi Ho with Arijit for a movie. I don’t know whether it’s being made or whether I am dropping people in it. But this was a while ago. So they sent me Tum Hi Ho. I obviously listened to it, was spellbound by it and just loved it and got in touch with Arijit and said, “Let’s be friends. Let me know when you are in London.” He was going to be over in 6 months or something, so I just said ‘Keep in touch’.”

Ed further added, “Then he came to London, we hung out. I went to play Perfect with him at the show. And the afterwards I was playing him some of the new record. I played him Sapphire. And he was instantly looking at his mates, being like, ‘This needs this. I’d love to do this. Let me help’. And he essentially took the track away, worked on it, and there it is.”

When asked again about the Tum Hi Ho collab, he replied, “I don’t know if it’s even a thing. It was just a conversation that we had.” He also revealed watching Aashiqui 2, and said that he loved it. “But it was such a depressing ending,” he added. He further said that Tum Hi Ho is one of his favourite songs of all time.
