Janhvi Kapoor says Homebound made everybody cry

Janhvi says that after the premiere of Homebound at Cannes, she averted her household on objective as a result of she knew their reactions would make her cry. “I greeted everyone. But I saw my dad; he was howling, he was a mess. I haven’t seen him like that in a long time. And my sister’s eyes were bloodshot. I was like, I’m not gonna go up to them. Because I know if I do, I’m gonna start crying again. But he was so moved by the film. I don’t think I’ve seen him have such a visceral reaction to any piece of art in such a long time,” she stated. 

The actor talked about that it’s not simply her household, everybody within the theatre was crying by the tip of it, stating, “It wasn’t like gentle, cute, sniffles. It was like (imitates sobbing). I think people had an existential crisis in that room, which I loved. I saw the film once before, a slightly different cut. And I was the biggest mess in the world. So much so that Neeraj sir, who’s a very sensitive man, even he was like, itna kyu ro rahi hain? (Why are you crying so much?) So yesterday I was like, I won’t cry today. Vishal was the first one to kind of crack. The second a particular plot point happened, I was a mess.”
