Homebound stars Janhvi Kapoor and Vishal Jethwa are under fire after a clip from their Cannes interview went viral for all the wrong reasons. The two actors, who attended the 77th Cannes Film Festival alongside Ishaan Khatter, are facing heavy trolling for allegedly ignoring their co-star mid-interview.
Did Janhvi Kapoor And Vishal Jethwa IGNORE Ishaan Khatter?
In the trending video, Ishaan is seen speaking to a journalist. Meanwhile, Janhvi and Vishal, sitting right next to him, seem to be engaged in their own private chat. Janhvi whispers something to Vishal, and he responds—all while Ishaan continues the interview. This moment didn’t sit well with social media users.
One user on X (formerly Twitter) shared the video and wrote, “Honestly, when someone is giving an interview, the other person should have the courtesy to not keep whispering, it's a bit disrespectful to the person speaking.”

A user wrote in a comment section, “It’s distracting when someone is whispering right next to you while you’re giving an interview. Also, what is so important that it can’t wait a few minutes till the interview got over.”
Another commented, “This is their khandani bimari. Same is done by her sister Sonam as well.” Someone else wrote, “Manners are missing. Others called their behaviour 'rude' and 'unprofessional'.

The cast walked the red carpet in style. Along with Janhvi, Ishaan, and Vishal, producer Karan Johar attended the screening. Janhvi’s father, Boney Kapoor, and sister, Khushi Kapoor, were also present to support the film.
Homebound is backed by big names, including producers Karan Johar, Adar Poonawalla, Apoorva Mehta, and Somen Mishra. The film also has legendary filmmaker Martin Scorsese attached as executive producer, adding global appeal to the project.
While the film continues to win hearts, the awkward Cannes clip is stealing headlines. Fans are now curious to see whether Janhvi and Vishal will speak up about the incident or let the storm pass.
