Janhvi Kapoor and Ishaan Khatter were at Cannes 2025 to represent the screening of their upcoming release, Homebound. They were also accompanied by co-actor Vishal Jethwa and producer Karan Johar on the red carpet. Homebound is being premiered at Cannes 2025 under the Un Certain Regard section.
Janhvi Kapoor’s couture was handcrafted by Banaras artisans
The Dhadak actress wore a blush pink traditional lehenga handcrafted by the artisans from Banaras and designed by Tarun Tahiliani. The lehenga was modified to look both modern and traditional which was a style Sridevi endorsed during her heydays. That is why many commented that she was paying tribute to her mother by wearing this lehenga with a modern touch.

But for most of the Indian web users who are regularly monitoring Indian presence on the red carpet at Cannes 2025, Janhvi Kapoor’s dress and her overall styling did not look impressive. Apart from the actress, netizens were surprised by Ishaan Khatter’s dress as it seemed downplayed and predictable.

As a result, a trail of hilarious comments sparked on Reddit with many social media users comparing the look of Janhvi Kapoor and Ishaan Khatter to Indian television’s popular characters Gopi Bahu and Aham. The ghunghat Janhvi wore which was a part of her entire outfit led to many questions, whether it is Cannes or shaadi ka mandap.
One of the users commented, “Gopi bahu and Aham dikra from SoBo.” Another user said, “They really look like bride and groom, even idk why almost every Indian is dressing like a bahu or like bride at Cannes.” Many also believed that the look of Janhvi Kapoor has been inspired by Jaya Bachchan’s dressing in Kabhi Khushi Kabhie Gham.

Interestingly, Ishaan Khatter’s entire look and dress in The Royals was so impressive that fans are perplexed how his fashion sense can suddenly take a nosedive. One user trolled the Khaali Peeli actor saying, “How does Ishan take like 30 seconds to go from 8 to 3? Royals mein itna hot laga tha aur yahan ahem dikra.”
