During the film's international promotional tour, Cruise opened up about his deep appreciation for Indian culture, cinema, and people. He recalled, "I love India very much. It’s an incredible country with amazing people and a rich culture. Every moment I spent there is etched in my memory. From the time I first set foot there, saw the Taj Mahal, spent time in Mumbai — each experience remains unforgettable.”
What caught everyone’s attention, however, was his enthusiasm for Bollywood. Cruise said, “I want to return to India and shoot a film there. I love Bollywood movies. The way you act, dance, and sing — it all feels so natural and wonderful.”

I have many friends there, and I’ve met some amazing people.” He was also seen recreating his iconic dialogue from the film in Hindi, and the video is breaking the Internet!
The video shared by Avneet begins with Cruise greeting fans with, “Hello India. I love you!" Avneet then teaches him a phrase in Hindi. Repeating after her, Cruise says, “Main aap sabse bohot pyaar karta hoon (I love you all very much)." In another video, he is also seen recreating his iconic dialogue in Hindi. He is seen saying, “Mujh par bharosa karo, ek aakhri baar."
This warm admiration from one of Hollywood's biggest stars is a huge compliment to Indian cinema and will surely delight fans across the country.
