AR Rahman takes dig at Chris Martin amid Coldplay's kiss cam fiasco, video goes VIRAL
What did AR Rahman say at his concert?
AR Rahman is currently in North America conducting his Wonderment Tour. The troupe will perform in the US, Canada, and the United Kingdom before returning to India. While performing at the Tacoma Dome, the cameraman panned the camera towards the crowd, which gave rise to a viral moment.
The moment the camera panned towards the crowd, everyone started hooting and waving. To this, the singer and composer cracked a joke, which was a slight dig at Chris Martin and Coldplay. Rahman said, "I won't get you in trouble – don't worry."
This cracked everyone up, as it reminded them of the accidental exposé of an extramarital affair between Astronomer CEO Andy Byron and Chief People Officer Kristin Cabot. Even the singer smiled while saying this.
What was the Coldplay concert fiasco?
It was last week during Coldplay's concert at the Gillette Stadium in Foxborough, Massachusetts, that a couple went viral. Andy Byron and Kristin Cabot were having a good time listening to Coldplay perform when the kiss cam focused on them, and their video embracing each other blew up on the screen, leaving them embarrassed and hiding away.
After seeing this, Chris Martin joked, "Either they're having an affair or they're just very shy." This moment went viral, sparking extra-marital affair rumors. And days after this fiasco, Andy resigned from his position.
AR Rahman's work front
AR Rahman recently made quite a buzz on the internet following the release of the announcement video of Ramayana. Nitesh Tiwari's magnum opus, starring Ranbir Kapoor, Yash, Sai Pallavi, and others, has already generated a lot of hype, and the music, particularly, is being widely discussed.
On the work front, AR Rahman is currently involved in projects such as Tere Ishk Mein, Ram Charan's Peddi, Genie, and others.

Debina Bonnerjee shares glimpses of what her life is like these days
Actress Debina Bonnerjee, who is gearing up for her upcoming show 'Pati Patni Aur Panga', has showcased a glimpse of what her life is like these days. Debina took to Instagram, where she shared a picture of herself and alongside it, she gave a list of things that are keeping her busy. She wrote: 'Life Lately Shoot, Sleepless nights, Mommy duties, Dressing up & showing up, Tired? Yesss, Excited? Always, Grateful? Super Check.' Debina and her husband Gurmeet Chaudhary first got married in 2011 and then tied the knot again in 2021. They had their first child, a daughter, in April 2022, and their second daughter in November 2022. The two will be seen in the upcoming couple reality show, 'Pati Patni Aur Panga' hosted by actress Sonali Bendre and comedian Munawar Faruqui. The show is all set to premiere on Colors TV on August 2, featuring a diverse mix of celebrity couples as contestants. The lineup includes Hina Khan and Rocky Jaiswal, Rubina Dilaik and Abhinav Shukla, Avika Gor and Milind Chandwani, Debina Bonnerjee and Gurmeet Choudhary, Sudesh Lehri and Mamta Lehri, Geeta Phogat and Pawan Kumar, along with Swara Bhasker and Fahad Ahmed. Debina and Gurmeet opened up to IANS about why they agreed to be part of the reality show 'Pati Patni Aur Panga.' Debina said: 'For me, the reason was that I don't usually get the chance to work with Gurmeet daily. Right now, Gurmeet is away from television, so at least we are together on this show, working with each other. That was the sole reason—we get to spend time together and have so much fun.' Gurmeet and his wife Debina Bonnerjee rose to prominence after portraying Rama and Sita in the 2009 television epic 'Ramayana'. He then participated in the reality show Pati Patni Aur Woh with his then fiancee, Debina. The actor then worked in shows such as 'Geet-Hui Sabse Parayi,' 'Punar Vivah', 'Jhalak Dikhhla Jaa', 'Nach Baliye 6,' 'Fear Factor: Khatron Ke Khiladi (season 5)'. Gurmeet's first film in Bollywood was in 2015 when he was cast as the character of Jaidev in the psychological thriller 'Khamoshiyan'.
