 "Netflix's 'The Archies' fame Dot. to open Ed Sheeran's first India show of 'Mathematics' tour")
Singer-actor Dot., best known for “The Archies”, will open the India leg of British musician Ed Sheeran’s ‘The Mathematics (+–=÷x) Tour’ on Thursday night.
Sheeeran will kick off the tour in Pune and will later perform shows in Hyderabad, Chennai, Bengaluru, Shillong, and Delhi-NCR.
Dot., whose real name is Aditi Saigal, took to Instagram to share her excitement of performing at the concert.
Aditi Saigal aka Dot made her acting debut with Zoya Akhtar and Netflix’s The Archies. She’s a musician and with this film that also saw the debuts of Suhana Khan, Khushi Kapoor, and Agastya Nanda, Saigal has dabbled with the experience of being in front of the screen too. In an exclusive interview with Firstpost, she spoke about how she landed a role in the film, her experience of working with Akhtar, and why she rechristened herself as Dot.
She said, “Zoya had been following my work and she wanted a song from those days for her film. We were on a Zoom call and reworking on the lyrics of a song for the film. As we were doing that during the edit, she asked me if I ever acted, and I said I did that only in school plays. She asked me to audition for the movie and I got the part. I flew down to India from the U.K. and that’s how it happened.”
Dot added, “It was so much fun because it’s a musical so it’s a perfect starting ground. The film also belongs to the era I absolutely love- The 50s and the 60s. There was always an instrument on sets, when we were shooting at the Lodge Mansion, there was a grand piano there that I used to play in between shots, in our hotel room, there was a guitar. I wrote a lot of music while I was on the sets. The transition was a little easier.”
