The Rock's Lifelong Love Affair with India Shines Bright

Dwayne "The Rock" Johnson, the global superstar, has long enjoyed a profound connection with India that began during his wrestling days. In an exclusive interview, Johnson expresses his immense gratitude for the unwavering love and adoration he has received from Indian audiences over the years.

This deep-rooted bond was further strengthened by the recent premiere of Johnson's latest film, "The Smashing Machine," at the prestigious Venice Film Festival. The actor, who plays the role of MMA legend Mark Kerr, was deeply moved by the standing ovation the film received, a rare occurrence for the usually acclaimed star. Sharing the experience with Kerr himself, who sat beside Johnson during the screening, was particularly special. Johnson describes feeling Kerr's body vibrating with emotion throughout the film, a testament to the profound impact of their collaboration.

Beyond the applause and camaraderie, the project also offered Johnson a profound life lesson. "We all want to win at whatever it is we're doing. Nobody likes to lose, but losing is part of life. And arguably, losing is one of the most important things about life. It teaches you those lessons," he reflects. This sentiment underscores the film's powerful message and Johnson's own personal growth.
