Vishal Jethwa On Janhvi-Ishaan's Cannes Video: ‘She Was Holding Gown, Not Avoiding Him'
Last Updated:
Vishal Jethwa clarified Janhvi Kapoor didn't ignore Ishaan Khatter at Cannes but was just managing her gown during a red carpet moment.
A recent video from Cannes 2025 sparked a wave of speculation around Janhvi Kapoor and Ishaan Khatter's equation. The clip, which quickly went viral, showed Janhvi seemingly ignoring Ishaan's hand as she walked the red carpet, leading many to assume there was tension between the Dhadak co-stars, who were also rumoured to be exes.
Now, actor Vishal Jethwa, who attended Cannes with both Janhvi and Ishaan, has clarified what actually happened in the moment and shut down any speculation of discomfort between the two.
'I've seen Ishaan and Janhvi work together and they are very comfortable with each other. They are well-wishers and talk very nicely to one another," Vishal said in a chat with Zoom.
Explaining the viral video, Vishal added, 'At Cannes, I remember holding her outfit's trail and was struggling to figure out how to hold it properly. I was just trying to help her. And when Janhvi was climbing up, Ishaan was offering his hand. She was holding her clothes, which is probably why she didn't take his hand."
He further defended Janhvi, stating she would never do anything disrespectful. 'She's very sensible and could never do anything disrespectful. That's what I've come to understand about her," Vishal shared.
On the widespread social media chatter that followed the video, he said, 'I'm sure no one is thinking about this in a serious way. But people like to be entertained, and they're just going along with it."
The trio—Janhvi, Ishaan, and Vishal—were in Cannes to attend the prestigious film festival and promote their work on an international stage. While the viral moment grabbed attention, Vishal's clarification suggests it was nothing more than a misread situation caused by the logistics of managing a red carpet outfit.
