Hollywood actor Anne Hathaway has gone viral after using the Arabic phrase 'Inshallah' during an interview while promoting her new film, 'The Devil Wears Prada 2.' Speaking about ageing and longevity in the film industry, the 43 year old reflected on her evolving perspective, saying she now values calmness and approaches each decade with curiosity rather than fear. She added that she hopes for a long, healthy life, 'Inshallah,' a phrase meaning God willing.

Her use of the expression resonated strongly with Middle Eastern audiences, where it is commonly used to express hope for the future. The interview clip has received more than 300,000 likes on TikTok, with many users praising her warmth and maturity. Some fans referenced her earlier roles, while others commended her thoughtful outlook on ageing.

In a separate incident that also drew attention online, singer Sabrina Carpenter apologized after misidentifying a fan's traditional Arabic celebratory ululation as yodeling during a festival performance. After initially reacting with confusion on stage, she later acknowledged her mistake on social media, saying she could have handled the moment better and now understood the cultural expression.
