Janhvi Kapoor-starrer Homebound has made big waves at global film festivals and has now been chosen as India’s official entry to the Oscars 2026. Ahead of Homebound’s theatrical release in India on September 26 , the makers recently hosted a star-studded premiere in Mumbai on Monday evening, September 22. While several stars attended the event dressed their best, Janhvi Kapoor, however, grabbed the spotlight by honouring her mother at the event.
For the special screening of Homebound, Janhvi opted for a blue and black saree with golden embroidery. With the saree, the actress honoured her mother, the late Sridevi. Notably, Sridevi wore the saree for the first time in 2017 at Anushka Sharma and Virat Kohli`s wedding reception. Designer Manish Malhotra designed it for her.
