Janhvi Kapoor’s boyfriend Shikhar Pahariya joins Khushi Kapoor, Karan Johar and Ishaan Khatter at Cannes for Homebound premiere
Janhvi Kapoor's Cannes Debut: A Family & Film Fraternity Cheer Squad for 'Homebound' Premiere
The 78th Cannes Film Festival, currently in full swing on the French Riviera, is witnessing a significant moment for Indian cinema with Janhvi Kapoor's highly anticipated debut. The actress is not alone in celebrating this milestone; she's surrounded by a supportive cheer squad including her rumored boyfriend Shikhar Pahariya, sister Khushi Kapoor, mentor Karan Johar, and 'Homebound' co-star Ishaan Khatter, all gathered for the premiere of her film in the prestigious Un Certain Regard section.
As Janhvi prepares to make her red carpet splash, the collective presence of her close circle underscores the importance of 'Homebound' and her journey on the international stage. Shikhar Pahariya, who has often been seen with Janhvi at various events, arrived in Cannes to lend his support, making headlines with his casual yet stylish airport looks and candid moments by the French Riviera.
Janhvi's younger sister, Khushi Kapoor, known for her own burgeoning career and keen fashion sense, is also present, sharing glimpses of their time together. Their bond, often showcased on social media, adds a personal touch to Janhvi's professional triumph.
Veteran filmmaker and Dharma Productions head, Karan Johar, whose banner is producing 'Homebound' alongside Adar Poonawalla, Apoorva Mehta, and Somen Mishra, is also a prominent figure at Cannes. Karan's presence signifies the backing of a major Indian studio for a film making waves globally. He himself has shared dapper photos from Cannes, reflecting his excitement for the festival.
Adding to the 'Homebound' team's strong showing is Ishaan Khatter, who reunites with Janhvi on screen after their debut film 'Dhadak.' His presence at Cannes, alongside Janhvi and director Neeraj Ghaywan, highlights the collective effort behind this compelling drama. Pictures of Ishaan, Karan, Khushi, Shikhar, and Orhan Awatramani (Orry) enjoying their time in Cannes have already surfaced, showcasing a relaxed and happy camaraderie before the big premiere.
'Homebound,' directed by Neeraj Ghaywan (whose film 'Masaan' also premiered at Cannes in 2015 and won two awards), is a Hindi-language drama that explores the intricate bond between two childhood friends from a North Indian village. The film has garnered immense international attention, notably with legendary Hollywood filmmaker Martin Scorsese joining as an Executive Producer. This collaboration adds significant prestige to the Indian film's screening, further amplifying its global appeal.
Janhvi Kapoor has openly expressed her deep gratitude for Scorsese's involvement, sharing on social media: "An honour beyond words. Thank you, @martinscorsese_, for guiding HOMEBOUND with the grace and insight of a true master. Your support means the world to us."
As 'Homebound' gears up for its premiere at the 78th Cannes Film Festival, the powerful show of support from Janhvi Kapoor's personal and professional circles underscores the collective excitement and pride surrounding this milestone for Indian cinema on the world stage.
