“I just really wanna hopefully live and enjoy a life. I wanna have a long, healthy life, Inshallah, I hope so. Inshallah!” she added. Kris Fade, an Australian-Lebanese radio presenter and socialite who appeared in the Dubai Bling movie, shared his reaction on Twitter.
The phrase “Inshallah” is often used by Muslims around the world and has become part of everyday life for those who speak Urdu or Hindi in South Asia. However, what caught fans’ attention was not the term itself but the comfort with which Hathaway used it. On social media, people praised how organic it seemed and how Hathaway did not use it as a mere performance but rather with conviction.
