00:00Janhvi Kapoor made her Khan debut with the premiere of her film Homebound alongside co-actor
00:09Ishaan Khattar, Karan Johar and producer Adit Poonawala's wife Natasha. For Day One, Janhvi
00:15chose to pay tribute to her mom and legendary actress Sridevi in a custom Tarun Dehlyani
00:19outfit. Her second outfit was in a Namika Khanna mint green skirt styled by Rhea Kapoor. Sridevi
00:25was known for adding her own contemporary spins to classic Indian ensemble. Wearing a
00:29rose-coloured hand-crushed tissue skirt paired with a Banarsi corset, Kapoor finished the look
00:34with Titi's signature drape with some pearl jewellery. While one section of the internet
00:38said Janhvi was giving Sridevi, the other dug a little deeper and found similarities with
00:43Aishwarya Rai's iconic Puvukul look. Aishwarya played Egyptian royalty in the 1998 movie Jeans
00:48in a similar rose-tinted look with pearls. Director Neeraj Ghaiwan's Homebound was screened in the
00:53uncertain regards section of the Khan Film Festival on 20th May of 2025. Homebound tells
00:59the story of two friends from a village in North India who navigate life and friendship after
01:03finding jobs as police officers. Martin Scorsese came on board as executive producer of Homebound.
01:09Scorsese is known for many legendary films with Hollywood royalty Leonardo DiCaprio and Robert
01:14De Niro and is one of the most celebrated American filmmakers of all time. Do you think
01:18Janhvi's look was inspired by Aishwarya's 1998 avatar? Let us know in the comments below.
