During the highly anticipated London premiere of her upcoming film, The Devil Wears Prada 2, the actress won over fans worldwide by graciously accepting a copy of the Holy Quran from a supporter.

The moment, captured in a viral social media video, shows a fan handing the gift to Hathaway while referencing a recent interview where the actress used the phrase "Insha'Allah" (God willing). The fan remarked that they were moved by her inclusive language, to which Hathaway responded with a warm smile and heartfelt gratitude. The elegant manner in which she handled the interaction has drawn widespread praise across international social media platforms, with many applauding her humility and openness to different faiths.

The gesture stems from a recent interview with People Magazine, where Hathaway discussed her hopes for the future, her career, and motherhood. While speaking about her long-term goals, she naturally remarked, "I want to live a long and healthy life, Insha'Allah. I hope so." Her seamless and meaningful use of the phrase resonated deeply with Muslim fans and the general public alike, viewed as a bridge-building moment in a often-divided cultural landscape.

Professional excitement is also building as the sequel to the 2006 cult classic The Devil Wears Prada prepares for its global release on May 1. Returning after a 20-year hiatus, the franchise reunites original director David Frankel and writer Aline Brosh McKenna. While original stars Meryl Streep, Emily Blunt, and Stanley Tucci are reprising their iconic roles, the sequel adds fresh star power with the inclusion of Lady Gaga, Simone Ashley, and Lucy Liu. Hathaway’s heartwarming interaction in London has added a positive and inclusive note to the film's massive promotional campaign.
