Coldplay, who apparently just filmed a new music video in Mumbai quietly, unwittingly caused a traffic jam on Twitter on Thursday. Everyone was trolling everyone else, without mercy and with professional wit.
Should you not have spent your afternoon on Twitter, you might currently be laboring under the impression that the Chris Martin-fronted Coldplay - only one of the biggest rock bands in the world - is playing at musician Vishal Dadlani's Mumbai home tonight.
