Coldplay's Chris Martin and Dakota Johnson visit Babulnath Temple before Mumbai concert

COLDPLAY lead singer Chris Martin and his girlfriend, Hollywood star Dakota Johnson, visited the Babulnath Temple in Mumbai on Friday, ahead of the band’s first concert in the city.

The couple, who have been together since 2017, were seen offering prayers at the temple dedicated to Lord Shiva.

In one video that went viral, Johnson, 35, was seen whispering in the ears of Nandi, the sacred bull statue associated with Lord Shiva.

Martin, 47, wore a traditional blue kurta, while Johnson wore a printed suit and covered her head with a dupatta. Their visit follows months of speculation about their relationship, which has been ongoing since 2017.

Johnson, known for films like "The Social Network," "Suspiria," and "The Lost Daughter," is accompanying Martin as Coldplay embarks on their ‘Music of the Spheres World Tour.’

The first concert will take place on Saturday at DY Patil Stadium in Navi Mumbai, followed by two more shows in Mumbai on January 19 and 21.

The tour will continue with a fourth concert at Narendra Modi Stadium in Ahmedabad on January 25. Coldplay’s last performance in India was at the 2016 Global Citizen Festival in Mumbai.
