The Grammy-winning pop star Ed Sheeran✱ has shared how he originally wanted to be an actor, reminiscing about auditioning for a television show.

Ed, who has appeared in the new episode of 'The Great Indian Kapil Show♎' (TGIKS), which is hosted by Kapil Sharma, talked about how he chose singing.

The 'Shape of You' singer 🧜said: "I originally wanted to be an actor. I auditioned for this TV show -- it was acting with music -- and I made it to the finals. I was sixteen, and I got down to the final 10 people. In my head, I thought if I got this, I would pursue acting and wouldn't do music. If I don't get this, I'll focus solely on music. And I didn't get it."

🎃Kapil also shared how he initially wanted to become a singer.

🐼"Actually, I wanted to become a singer. When I came out of my home, I saw everyone singing. So I swapped my field," he said.

﷽The eighth episode of the comedy chat show will see Ed attempting to speak in Hindi and Kapil sweating it out with his English.

❀The episode will air on Saturday at 8 p.m. on Netflix.
