Ed finally dropped the 3-minute video for Sapphire, a song he has been teasing for a while now. Shot guerrilla-style during his trips to India, some of the visuals in the video are featured on his social media, including videos of him taking auto rickshaw rides or interacting with fans. The famous video of Arijit driving Ed on his scooter also features in the video, as does a selfie of Ed and Shah Rukh singing the lyrics of Sapphire.

In a recent post about the song, Ed wrote “love that guy” while referring to Shah Rukh and called Arijit “the final jigsaw piece” of his song.
