Earlier, Vishal shared glimpses of his debut appearance at the event on social media. He has now treated fans to more photos from the film festival, leaving them gushing over his killer looks and on-point fashion game. Posing in an all-black ensemble, Vishal Pandey turned the streets of France into his runway.

He rounded off the look with a dainty silver statement necklace and sunglasses. In a cryptic caption attached to the post, Vishal wrote, 'I love it when I don't care." View this post on Instagram A post shared by Vishal Pandey🇮🇳 (@vishalpandey_21) Ever since Vishal Pandey's debut on the Cannes 2025 red carpet, fans have been celebrating the milestone. However, a section of people also claimed he attended the film festival only to walk the red carpet. In a chat with Times Of India, Vishal responded to the trolling, saying, 'Some people think I came to Cannes just to walk the red carpet and show off outfits. Now I know how hard I worked on my outfits but I came here because my film is part of the festival. And that's something I've always dreamed of." Talking further, Vishal Pandey also explained that influencers attending Cannes mainly to put their fashion prowess on display might have created the wrong impression.

Did Janhvi Kapoor rebuff Ishaan Khatter on the Cannes red carpet? Homebound co-star Vishal Jethwa defends actor, says, ‘She can never do something so disrespectful'
Recently, Janhvi Kapoor, Ishaan Khatter, and Vishal Jethwa made headlines for their fashion statement at Cannes 2025. 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. See photos Talking about the allegations where Janhvi appeared to be rude to Ishaan, Vishal said, 'It wasn't true, in fact, at that moment, Ishaan was helping me as I couldn't understand the question. 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.' A post shared by Bollywood Feels (@bollywoodfeelss) He 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.
