Coldplay's Ahmedabad concert: Chris Martin sings Vande Mataram, Maa Tujhe Salaam, WATCH viral video

Coldplay frontman Chris Martin touched many hearts by singing the patriotic anthem Vande Mataram and Maa Tujhe Salaam on India's 76th Republic Day. He gave his final performance in India at Ahmedabad's Narendra Modi Stadium on Sunday. He began the concert by greeting the crowd with 'Happy Republic Day, India!'.

It looked like a confetti of lights had spread throughout the stadium as fans switched on their flashlights to groove to the band's tune in their last concert in India, which is being streamed live on Disney+ Hotstar.

The atmosphere inside the Narendra Modi Stadium, which has a capacity of over 1.25 lakh, was electric with excitement as the show kicked off exactly at 8 pm. Martin, dressed in a sea blue T-shirt and jeans, began by performing "High Power", which made the audience sing the song with him in unison. And then came two other hits -- "Adventure of a Lifetime" and "Paradise". Check out the viral video here:

Taking a break from back-to-back tracks, Martin then addressed the audience in Hindi and thanked them for turning up in large numbers from different corners of the country. "Dhanyawaad pyaare dosto. Aap sab ka bohat swagat hai hamare show me. Aap sabka bohat dhanyawaad ki aapne hume yaha perform karne ka mauka diya. Ahmedabad me aake bohat hum bohat khushi ho rahi hai. Aur namaste aap sabko jo hume live stream par dekh rahe hai," he said and was met with huge cheers from the audience.

"That is the every Hindi word I ever learned in my whole life. So thank you," Martin said, before switching to Gujurati briefly. Martin also greeted Indian fans on the occasion of India's 76th Republic Day.
