Anne Hathaway casually slips in an ‘Inshallah’ in her interview
During an interaction with People magazine, Hathaway talked about her history in the film industry and her changing views on ageing. The actress said that at age 43, she was taking a more composed outlook on life. She revealed that she no longer goes through the same emotional highs and lows as she did earlier in her career.
“I finally value the chill. I just really wanna hopefully live and enjoy a life,” adding that instead of being nervous, she now views every new decade with curiosity., In a candid moment, Hathaway said, “I want to have a long, healthy life, Inshallah. I hope so,” Hathaway said.
‘Inshallah’ is a Arabic term that is very commonly used in South Asia by those who speak Hindi and Urdu. Hathaway used the word with ease and a sense of familiarity, which many found noteworthy. Several on social media noted that the way the actress used it felt like it was a part of her everyday lexicon and not performative or calculative.
