The phrase came out naturally with no effort The video spread rapidly amid a flood of comments

Social media platforms witnessed a wide wave of interaction over the past hours after a video clip of American actress Anne Hathaway went viral, in which she casually used the phrase “Inshallah” during an interview, in an unexpected moment that caught attention and sparked global reactions.

The moment occurred during an interview with People magazine ahead of the anticipated release of the second part of her famous film The Devil Wears Prada, where she was speaking about her future aspirations and life, saying: “I just hope to live my life and enjoy it, I want to live a long and healthy life… Inshallah I hope so.”

The phrase, delivered naturally and without any effort, quickly became a topic of widespread engagement, with many expressing surprise at her use of a word typically associated with Arab and Islamic culture, while others said they replayed the clip several times to make sure they heard it correctly.

Unintentional cultural integration Reactions were split between admiration and surprise, as some viewers saw her spontaneous use of the word as an unintentional cultural influence, possibly shaped by friends or acquaintances from Arab or Muslim backgrounds, while others considered it simply a natural expression used without intent.

This attention comes as Hathaway discusses a new phase in her life after turning forty, sharing in earlier interviews her evolving outlook on life, emphasizing calmness and avoiding overreactions.

In another unusual comment, she sparked debate when speaking about the importance of “proper lighting” in her daily life, saying that bad lighting has become one of the most irritating things for her as she gets older, adding that choosing smart lighting has become an important part of her sense of comfort and confidence.

Hathaway is currently preparing for her return to the big screen with the second part of The Devil Wears Prada, set for release on May 1, after the massive success of the original film nearly 20 years ago, starring Meryl Streep, Anne Hathaway, Emily Blunt, and Stanley Tucci.
