After ‘kiss cam' moment at Coldplay concert, Indian couple's request goes viral: ‘Are you engaged… That's better'
While the now-infamous 'kiss cam' moment featuring Astronomer CEO Andy Byron and HR head Kristin Cabot dominated headlines during Coldplay's Gillette Stadium concert in Massachusetts, a heartfelt video of an Indian couple has started gaining attention for all the right reasons. A viral clip shared on YouTube captures a special moment where Coldplay frontman Chris Martin invites a newly engaged couple from Mumbai onto the stage. Holding a handwritten poster that read, 'Just engaged, can we sing Magic together?', the pair's request instantly caught Martin's eye. 'This is one of the best signs I've seen in the world,' Martin says, before jokingly asking, 'Are you engaged to each other?' When the couple confirms, he quips, 'That's better, we don't need any surprises.' Their performance followed the now-notorious 'kiss cam' incident, where Byron and Cabot were seen cuddling before awkwardly ducking out of frame as cameras zoomed in on them. Once on stage, the Mumbai couple introduced themselves and mentioned where they were from. Martin, in a playful mix-up, greeted them with 'welcome to Canada' during the Boston-area concert, but quickly corrected himself and charmed the crowd with his humor. He even personalised the performance by modifying a line from the song "Magic" to include the couple's names before hugging them at the end. The YouTube user who posted the video described it as a standout moment from Coldplay's Music of the Spheres Tour, held on July 16, 2025, writing, 'With fans on stage from Mumbai. Chris Martin momentarily forgets which country he is in! (but more than makes it up to the crowd).' The incident involving Andy Byron and Kristin Cabot sparked a wave of speculation online after the pair were caught on the 'kiss cam' looking visibly uncomfortable and attempting to hide their faces. Byron, who is married to Megan Kerrigan, became the focus of online chatter after users noticed she had removed 'Byron' from her Facebook name following the viral moment. Cabot, meanwhile, had divorced her ex-husband Kenneth Thornby in 2022, after filing in 2018. As of now, neither Byron nor Cabot has publicly responded to the situation.

CCA gallery reopens in Lutyens' Delhi
Imaan Varma, grandson of the late Ashok Varma, revives CCA The Indian art world celebrates the return of a storied institution—CCA (Centre for Culture & Art)—revived by Imaan Varma, grandson of the late Shri Ashok Varma, founder of the original gallery. First established in the 1990s in Connaught Place, CCA was a pioneering force in India's modern art movement. It played host to iconic masters such as M.F. Husain, F.N. Souza, Souza, J. Swaminathan, and Manjit Bawa, becoming a vibrant hub for progressive thought and creative expression for over three decades. Now, CCA reopens in Lutyens' Delhi, reimagined as an exclusive, by-invitation-only gallery and cultural centre. The new vision blends legacy with forward thinking by bringing art for collectors and also building a pathway for students, the 'future masters' of Indian art.

We were among India's first and finest galleries, and I'm honoured to carry forward that legacy,' says Imaan Varma. CCA's revival show, titled Sacred Signs, opens with works by master tribal artists Jangarh Singh Shyam, Jodhaiya Bai Baiga, Baua Devi and Santosh Kumar Das—each handpicked by Imaan. 'Those who know, know,' he says of the selection. The exhibition marks the beginning of a series of bold, curator-led projects and events planned ahead. While we prepare for CCA's official revival, the gallery remains committed to nurturing young minds. CCA will always give special attention to students—helping them not only learn art but also understand the business and ecosystem that surrounds it. This exhibition is a unique collaboration with students of The Ardee School, who will gain hands-on experience in curating, presenting, and engaging with art. They will not only learn from masters but also witness firsthand how art lives beyond the canvas—through galleries, collectors, and conversations. CCA is immensely proud to announce the appointment of Ina Puri as its advisor. 'Her association with CCA dates back to its early years, and her deep understanding of the gallery's DNA makes her an invaluable part of our journey,' adds Imaan. 'The story that began in the early 90s fuelled by the determination of the entrepreneur Ashok Varma is now poised to begin a new chapter steered by his grandson Imaan, an ardent advocate of modern & contemporary Indian art. CCA moves into an expansive new space in Lutyens Delhi & is set to showcase artists from the expanding community of practitioners. I am delighted to be playing a role in their new plans as an advisor. CCA had contributed greatly to the art scene in the 90s. I am confident they will continue to make a difference in the present times'. – Ina Puri.
