On Sunday night I was one of few, privileged enough to be invited to a special screening of Ghost Protocol, Mission Impossible 4, starring the infamous Tom Cruise & the dapper Anil Kapoor.
Mr Kapoor played an undeniably diligent and gracious host to Mr Cruise on the red carpet, who, in short was mauled by the Indian press.
We have all grown up with his posters up on our walls, whether it was his character Joel Goodson (Risky Business) Charlie Babbitt (Rain Man) Lieutenant ‘Maverick’ (Top Gun) or Jerry Maguire, just to name a few, Tom Cruise has, in many ways, conquered the hearts of millions!
So it was to my absolute surprise and sheer delight, that on meeting him – when asked if I could give him a hug he reciprocated with a million dollar smile and arms wide open!
Being the true superstar actor he is, he managed to swoon the media with his endless charm and sheer magnetism.
Accompanied by his sister, who is said to always travel with him, he met and greeted all his fans with inimitable charisma! Mr Cruise really went out of his way to take pictures and smile graciously to an entire sea of fans, including little kids. With grossing over 6.5 billion in the box office worldwide, it is safe to attest that Tom Cruise is more than an actorproducer he is a true legend of his time!
