Cricketing maestro Sachin Tendulkar with wife Anjali Tendulkar, and Ness Wadia were also seen grooving to U2 beats, held on Sunday evening at Navi Mumbai's DY Patil Stadium.

The concert turned into a magical affair as Indian maestro AR Rahman joined Bono, The Edge, Adam Clayton and Larry Mullen Jr on stage. Rahman took to the stage with his daughters Khatija and Raheema, and performed the single "Ahimsa", which he composed in collaboration with the rock band and released in November.

The sea of fans at the venue was left mesmerised as psychedelic lights, paired with Bono's vocals and the Rahman trio's chant-like rendition cast a spell. Fans shared videos from the U2-Rahman "Ahimsa" performance on social media.

U2 made sure that their first-ever Mumbai concert was nothing less than legendary. The band had the audience grooving to their popular tracks such as "With or without you", "Where the streets have no name" and "I still haven't found what I'm looking for' from their 1987 album, "The Joshua Tree".

The band touched down in Mumbai on Thursday and were welcomed by the paparazzi. They had no qualms striking quirky poses for the shutterbugs. This was their first-ever concert in India, which marked the closure of 'The Joshua Tree Tour 2019', which celebrated 32 years of their album "The Joshua Tree".
