The actors were present at the French Riviera for the premiere of their film Homebound. A gesture of Janhvi Kapoor, however, made news for the wrong reason when a section on social media alleged that she rebuffed her Dhadak co-star Ishaan Khatter. In a video that surfaced online, Janhvi appeared to ignore Ishaan, leading everyone to speculate if the two actors had some bad blood. However, their co-star, Vishal Jethwa, spoke to Zoom TV and defended Janhvi, clarifying that there is no ‘awkwardness’ or ‘cold war’ between the two as assumed.Also Read: Janhvi Kapoor honours Indian heritage at Cannes in backless mint green gown adorned with traditional jewellery.

People there talk in French, and I couldn’t understand how to even answer them in English. So Ishaan started answering, and till then, I thought I would ask Janhvi what they were asking. We were both discussing that, and people thought we were doing our own thing. I respect Ishaan a lot, and I am very thankful to him, because I get to learn a lot from both Janhvi and Ishaan.” View this post on Instagram A post shared by Bollywood Feels (@bollywoodfeelss) Also Read: | Janhvi Kapoor couldn’t care less about being called ‘plastic’, predicts that she’ll be trolled for her looks at CannesHe even revealed whether both actors were awkward with each other. He said, “It’s all just rumors, there is nothing like that. I have seen Ishaan and Janhvi work together; they are very comfortable with each other. They wish well for one another, and they even speak to each other very nicely. I remember when I was walking holding Janhvi’s trail, and when she was climbing on stage, Ishaan offered his hand, but since she was holding her dress, she didn’t hold his hand. She is a very sensible girl and can never do something so disrespectful.”Homebound is produced by Karan Johar and written by Neeraj Ghaywan and Sumit Roy. The film received a 9-minute-long standing ovation at Cannes.Click here to follow Screen Digital on YouTube and stay updated with the latest from the world of cinema.© IE Online Media Services Pvt Ltd
