Homebound, a film that was screened at the 78th Cannes Film Festival, received a standing ovation, much to the delight of its stars, Janhvi Kapoor, Ishaan Khatter and Vishal Jethwa. On the flip side, a viral video hinted that things weren't quite right between Janhvi and Ishaan. Now, Vishal Jethwa has cleared the air.
In an interview, he said, "Yeh sab baatein ban jaati hai. Aisa kuchh hai nahi. Maine Ishaan-Janhvi ko kaam karte dekha hai aur wo bahut hi comfortably kaam kar sakte hain (I have seen Ishaan and Janhvi working together and they are comfortable with each other)."
About the viral video where Janhvi reportedly ignored her Dhadak co-actor when he offered his hand on stage, Jethwa explained that he was holding the trail of Janhvi's outfit and was clueless about how to do it.
He added, "Main bas uski madad kar raha tha. Janhvi jab upar chadh rahi thi, toh Ishan haath de raha tha par wo apne kapde hold karke khadi thi isiliye usne haath nahi diya hoga (I was just trying to help her. And when Janhvi climbed up the stage, Ishaan offered his hand. She was holding her clothes, which is probably why she didn’t take his hand)."
Addressing another viral video that showed him and Janhvi lost in conversation while Ishaan was busy in the interview, he explained that Ishaan was trying to help him understand the question. The actor mentioned facing trouble due to a change in language in Cannes, which was why he wasn't clear about the interview questions. Lastly, Vishal said, "I respect Ishaan immensely. I am thankful to him for always guiding me."
