With her signature smile, she asked him, “How are you?” To which Tom replied warmly, “Great! Very nice to see you.” But what really sent fans into a frenzy was what followed. Cruise looked at Avneet and said, “So elegant, so elegant.” Yes, you read that right—Tom Cruise called her ‘elegant’, and not once, but twice.
