Pop icon Rihanna touched down in Mumbai for the launch of her beauty and make-up brand, Fenty Beauty. Isha Ambani hosted Rihanna.

Ever since her arrival, all eyes have been on the diva, who is leaving no chance to keep fans hooked. As usual, Rihanna met several social media content creators at a beauty store and also interacted with paparazzi. Rihanna donned two looks, one being an all-black, body-hugging couture outfit, and the second a lime green leather skirt and blazer styled outfit designed by Manish Malhotra.

Several photos and videos of Rihanna have gone viral, showing Rihanna and Isha Ambani hugging and kissing each other as they posed on the red carpet during photo ops.

Amid several videos and clips, Rihanna was seen thanking paps in Hindi; however, she goofed up while thanking them. Here's what happened.

In the clip, Rihanna is seen asking her team how to say "thank you" in Hindi. She then attempts to say "Shukriya," but accidentally ends up saying "Supriya." A pap prompts her again with "Shukriya," but she ends up saying, "Supriya, supriya." This left her fans and the desi internet amused. Her cute reaction and effort to speak Hindi have won hearts online.

"Supriya Supriyaaaaa," joked a netizen. Another went, "Lmao she's very unserious... love her." A fan couldn't stop laughing and commented, "She said Supriya," with a ROFL emoji. "She's so adorable that it's impossible not to love her," summed up an X user.

Another video that has gone viral shows Rihanna casually inviting a paparazzo for a picture and then putting an arm around him as they pose together.

Another video that has gone viral shows Orry, who shared a lively reel offering a sneak peek into the celebrations. The clip shows Janhvi Kapoor and designer Manish Malhotra, along with Rihanna. Another viral video showed Rihanna taking over the space near the DJ booth, completely at ease and dancing freely.

For the occasion, Rihanna wore soft butter yellow tones in favour of a bold look along with a, long-sleeved top paired with a flared, ankle-length leather skirt that is from Miguel Castro Freitas' Fall 2026 collection for Mugler.
