MUMBAI —
Ahead of Coldplay's first concert in Navi Mumbai, the band's lead singer, Chris
Martin, and his girlfriend, Hollywood star Dakota Johnson, offered prayers at
the famous Babulnath Temple.
Several videos going viral on social media showed Martin and
Johnson visiting the renowned temple dedicated to Lord Shiva on Friday. In one
of the videos, 35-year-old Johnson is seen whispering in the ears of Nandi, the
sacred bull statue associated with Lord Shiva.
Martin, 47, was dressed in a traditional blue kurta, while
Johnson wore a printed suit and covered her head with a dupatta.
Their joint appearance comes months after rumours of the
couple's breakup. Martin and Johnson have been dating since 2017.
The Hollywood star, known for movies such as "The
Social Network," "Suspiria," and "The Lost Daughter,"
is accompanying Martin for Coldplay's ‘Music of the Spheres World Tour’ in
India, which will begin on Saturday with their first show at DY Patil Stadium
in Navi Mumbai.
Coldplay will have two more shows in Mumbai on the 19th and
21st. The fourth show will be held at Ahmedabad’s Narendra Modi Stadium on
January 25.
The British band had earlier performed in India in 2016 at
the Global Citizen Festival in Mumbai.
