Tom Cruise Embraces Indian Culture with Avneet Kaur and Jannat Zubair
Indian fans are buzzing for more than just the upcoming Mission: Impossible film—the internet is obsessed with the crossover between Bollywood charm and Hollywood action. During a set visit in May 2025 for Mission: Impossible – The Final Reckoning, actresses Avneet Kaur and Jannat Zubair took the spotlight by sharing memorable moments with superstar Tom Cruise himself.
Avneet’s week on the London set didn’t just offer her a front-row seat to Cruise’s famous daredevil stunts—all done without a double, as any fan would expect—it even allowed her to introduce Tom Cruise to something he’s rarely seen in Hollywood: the traditional Indian 'namaste.' Their Instagram photo, both dressed head-to-toe in black, captured them greeting the camera, palms pressed together, as Avneet’s caption translated for her followers: 'Namaste to all of India from Mr. Cruise and me.' You can guess her comments section exploded. Fans called the moment 'iconic,' thrilled to see Indian traditions making their way into blockbuster Hollywood territory.
Jannat Zubair, another familiar face from Indian TV and movies, added even more excitement by posting her own selfies alongside Cruise. While she didn’t reveal as many details about her interaction, her updates showed just as much excitement—her grin said it all. The two stars might have had different styles, but their messages were the same: these exchanges felt like once-in-a-lifetime showstoppers. As Avneet put it, this was a moment she’d be bragging about for years.
Hollywood Blockbuster Meets Indian Glamour
The buzz isn’t just about celebrity meet-and-greets. The upcoming Mission: Impossible film has everyone talking by promising a true global blockbuster. The movie, directed by Christopher McQuarrie, is making a big deal of its Indian release: dubbed in Hindi, Tamil, and Telugu, so that fans across the country can get the full experience. Cruise is back in his signature role as Ethan Hunt, with big names like Hayley Atwell, Vanessa Kirby, and Simon Pegg adding even more star power.
Tom Cruise is famous for insisting on doing his own stunts, and this time he’s reportedly raised the stakes even higher for the franchise’s final chapter. For many Indian fans, the movie isn’t just another Hollywood release—it’s a cultural event, made bigger by these new connections between their local stars and global icons.

- Jannat’s selfies gave fans a behind-the-scenes look at Hollywood’s biggest action movie.
