Coldplay's frontman, Chris Martin paid a heartfelt tribute to India on the occasion of the 76th Republic Day by singing Vande Mataram and Maa Tujhhe Salaam during the band's Ahmedabad concert on Sunday.
He ended the concert with, "Salute to Mother India" and extended Republic Day wishes to everyone.

Martin concluded the concert by expressing gratitude and love for the vibrant crowd.
Earlier, Indian singer Jasleen Royal joined Martin on stage for We Pray, a track from the band's latest album, Moon Music.
He also gave a shoutout to Shah Rukh Khan during his concert in Mumbai.
