Anne Hathaway’s ‘Insha Allah’ statement sparks internet storm

While the internet is abuzz with controversy over Elmo, the red-haired Sesame Street doll, saying “Assalamu Alaikum”, Hollywood’s famous actress Anne Hathaway surprised everyone by using an important word in Muslim tradition, “Insha Allah”, in an interview!

In a recent interview with ‘People’ magazine, the Oscar-winning actress was talking about her life in her forties. Regarding her desire for a long and healthy life, she said, “I want to live a long and healthy life, God willing. That’s what I hope for.” Netizens were shocked to hear Hathaway suddenly utter this word.

Many expressed surprise after the video went viral on social media. Many fans and admirers commented that the way Hathaway used the word in the right place and with the right pronunciation clearly shows that she is well aware of its deep meaning.

But in the interview, Hathaway not only shared this one word, but also shared her own wisdom and experience about life.

From her four decades of life experience, she said that when you reach the age of 40 and look back, you understand how past decisions have affected the present. As a result, it is easier to evaluate whether or not you should make new decisions in the future.
