Hollywood star Andrew Garfield recently opened up about his meeting with Bollywood actress Shraddha Kapoor at the Red Sea International Film Festival, where the duo made waves with their picture together. Reflecting on the encounter, the Spider-Man actor described Shraddha as “very lovely, kind, and gentle,” during a conversation with Pinkvilla.

The actors crossed paths on the red carpet of the prestigious festival, where Shraddha Kapoor dazzled in a vibrant, embellished gown by Falguni Shane Peacock, and Andrew opted for a classic brown suit paired with a pinstriped white shirt. Their brief but warm exchange was captured in viral photos that took the internet by storm, delighting fans of both stars.

Garfield, who had recently served on the jury at the Marrakech International Film Festival alongside filmmaker Zoya Akhtar, expressed his growing appreciation for Indian films. He shared his admiration for RRR, calling it a film that has “broken through to the West,” and expressed eagerness to explore Akhtar’s works.

Shraddha Kapoor, last seen in the blockbuster Stree 2, which grossed ₹857 crore worldwide, continues to be a prominent figure in Bollywood. Garfield, known for his portrayal of Spider-Man, recently starred in We Live in Time alongside Florence Pugh and has the thriller After the Hunt, directed by Luca Guadagnino, lined up next.
