Mumbai witnessed a star-studded evening on Monday as the much-anticipated premiere of Homebound unfolded with glamour, emotion, and celebration. Among the attendees, Janhvi Kapoor emerged as the heart of the event, paying a deeply personal tribute to her late mother, legendary actress Sridevi, by choosing to wear one of her iconic sarees. The elegant ensemble not only captured the spotlight but also resonated as a poignant gesture of love and remembrance.
The premiere, held in the city’s upscale venues, brought together an impressive gathering of Bollywood’s finest, including Hrithik Roshan, Vicky Kaushal, Tamannaah Bhatia, Twinkle Khanna, Farah Khan, and Manish Malhotra, among others. The event buzzed with excitement, glamour, and the palpable anticipation surrounding the film’s release.
Janhvi’s appearance was especially notable not only for the sartorial homage but also for her warm interactions with the family of her rumored boyfriend, Shikhar Pahariya, a close bond that caught the attention of the media and fans alike.
Homebound, directed by Neeraj Ghaywan and backed by Karan Johar, tells the compelling story of two boys from rural India striving to overcome social prejudices while pursuing government jobs for dignity and respect. The film has already earned critical acclaim and pride, being officially selected as India’s entry for the 2026 Academy Awards in the Best International Feature Film category.
