French President Emmanuel Macron Names Anil Kapoor As His Favourite Actor
Honourable French President Emmanuel Macron’s recent India visit had many diplomatic highlights, but it was his interaction with cinema icon Anil Kapoor that truly became the talk of the town. When asked about his favourite Bollywood actor, the French President Emmanuel Macron responded with a smile, “I mean, yesterday I mentioned Jai Ho, so I would say Anil Kapoor.”
Set against the iconic backdrop of the Gateway of India, the Hon. French President engaged with some of the most influential voices from India’s arts and entertainment fraternity. At the forefront of this cultural confluence stood Anil Kapoor, representing the global resonance of Indian cinema with effortless gravitas.
Sharing a photograph from the meeting, Anil Kapoor wrote, “Spent an inspiring afternoon with President Emmanuel Macron and his gracious better half, Brigitte, exchanging thoughts on cinema, culture, and the powerful bridge between India and France.” The image was more than ceremonial, it reflected Anil Kapoor’s enduring international relevance and the stature Indian cinema commands on the world stage.
