Over the last few days, Janhvi Kapoor‘s experience has been particularly memorable, as she marked her first appearance at the Cannes Film Festival. Accompanying her is her film Homebound. Already, she’s graced the red carpet. However, the actress found herself reminiscing upon her return to a holiday spot that was dear to her mother Sridevi, now absent from this trip. Memories flooded back of how they used to visit as a family to celebrate special occasions together.
In Vogue India’s “Last Looks” feature, as she prepared for her red-carpet debut at the 78th Cannes Film Festival, Janhvi Kapoor found herself reminiscing about her late mother, Sridevi. She shared that Cannes was her mother’s preferred vacation spot, and they had enjoyed three or four summer vacations there together.
Janhvi went on to explain that their family would always make a big fuss whenever her mother accomplished something significant, such as receiving an award or launching a film. She mentioned, “I clearly remember English Vinglish; it was first shown at the Toronto Film Festival.” She reminisced, “We’d always share these major life events as a family, experiencing and celebrating them together.
In her own words, the actress from Dhadak expressed that they had returned to Cannes once more, and with them were her father, Boney Kapoor, and sister, Khushi Kapoor. She openly acknowledged that it felt unusual to be there without her mother. “It’s a bit odd being here without her,” she shared, adding that the strangeness was particularly pronounced because her mother had always been by her side during significant moments. In closing, she expressed deep feelings of missing her.
On May 20, 2025, Janhvi Kapoor gracefully stepped onto the red carpet at the Cannes Film Festival for the first time, sporting a tissue skirt and corset designed by Tarun Tahiliani. The following day, she turned heads once more in a backless gown created by Anamika Khanna for the premiere of Homebound on May 21.
Speaking about the movie, it falls under the Un Certain Regard category. This film is both written and directed by Neeraj Ghaywan. It features Janhvi Kapoor, Ishaan Khatter, and Vishal Jethwa in prominent roles.
Karan Johar, Adar Poonawalla, Apoorva Mehta, and Somen Mishra are the makers of Homebound. Marijke deSouza and Melita Toscan Du Plantier serve as co-producers, while Martin Scorsese takes on the role of executive producer.
