Last Updated: Posing in an all-black ensemble, Vishal Pandey turned the streets of France into a runway for his second look at Cannes 2025. Vishal Pandey's big debut at the 78th Cannes Film Festival took the Internet by storm. The actor attended the prestigious event for the premiere of his first international film, Far Away From Home. 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 opted for a satin T-shirt, paired with relaxed black trousers and a long, flowing matching cape with pleated details, blending regal appeal with contemporary elements. 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. He added, 'I know many influencers come here just for fashion, and maybe that's why people are judging. But for me, it was never about just dressing up—it was about being here with a purpose." For his debut appearance at the Cannes Film Festival 2025, Vishal Pandey picked a complex corset-style shirt and sleek white trousers and elevated with a long, flowing white cloak. With a necklace, accessories and pointed shoes, he completed the look. Dropping a string of pictures of the look on Instagram, Vishal wrote, 'Debuts are so special and here I'm having 2 debuts!

The accident, captured on surveillance camera, took place on Sunday at around 10 am. All the four individuals were riding on a single bike when it was hit by a Grand Vitara, causing two of them to be flung into the air while the other two were dragged on the bonnet for about 100 meters before the vehicle came to a stop.

Ishaan Khatter, Neliima Azeem Serve Mother-Son Goals. Bonus: Chandni Bainz
Last Updated: Ishaan Khatter escorted his mother Neliima Azeem to the venue. His rumoured girlfriend Chandni was also spotted at the event. Ishaan Khatter has had a busy month with Cannes 2025 and the release of his OTT series The Royals. The actor was spotted recently at the launch of sister-in-law Mira Kapoor's wellness centre Dhun in Mumbai. Ishaan attended the event with his rumoured girlfriend Chandni Bainz and mother Neliima Azeem. Holding his mother's hand, the actor escorted her to the venue while Chandni followed them. While en route to the event, Ishaan and his mother also engaged in a quick conversation. Acknowledging paparazzi, Ishaan also posed solo. He looked suave in grey formal pants and blazer with a dark T-shirt underneath. Chandni also made heads turn with her strapless asymmetrical dress. Beyond his on-screen prowess, Ishaan Khatter is a doting son to his mother Neliima Azeem. Earlier this year in a chat with Times Of India, the actor opened up on his bond with her, calling her a 'guiding light'. He said, 'My mother has always been the voice and the guiding light, and the constant presence that gently, and sometimes firmly, nudges me in the right direction. Beyond being my mother, she's my best friend — someone I can laugh with, lean on, and learn from every day. She never tried to impose her way of life on me, yet she instilled in me my deepest values. She's shown me that character matters above material things by example and also normalised being vulnerable and real with me. My mother has loved me beyond measure, and through it all." Fresh off the success of The Royals, Ishaan Khatter attended Cannes Film Festival 2025 earlier this month. His film Homebound was screened under the festival's prestigious Un Certain Regard section. Directed by Neeraj Ghaywan and produced by Karan Johar, the poignant drama also stars Janhvi Kapoor and Vishal Jethwa in the lead. It received a remarkable nine-minute standing ovation at Cannes. Meanwhile, Ishaan Khatter's The Royals has been renewed for season 2. The upcoming instalment will mark the return of Ishaan and Bhumi Pednekar as the lead pair. Zeenat Aman, Sakshi Tanwar, Nora Fatehi, Vihaan Samat, Dino Morea and Milind Soman are expected to return as well. First Published:
