Janhvi gets champi from khushi

Last month, Janhvi Kapoor made headlines with her stunning debut at the 2025 Cannes Film Festival. The actress, who recently returned to India with her younger sister Khushi Kapoor, is still in the news for her red carpet appearances as well as a cute behind-the-scenes video that has gone viral.

The video, which was shared by their close friend Orry, has been going viral on social media and winning people over with its innocent charm.

Orry shared a rotating collection of images and videos from his trip to Cannes on Instagram on Tuesday.


Several photos from the glitzy trip that feature Khushi Kapoor, Janhvi's alleged boyfriend Shikhar Pahariya, and other friends are included in the collection.

The fifth video, though, was the one that caught our attention. In this charming and completely Desi moment, Khushi is seen giving Janhvi a traditional head massage, or "champi," as she prepares for her big red carpet appearance.

“This is how I prep. You need a good champi," Janhvi is heard saying with a smile, looking into the camera. “No matter where you are," she adds. Khushi, focused and gentle, asks her, “Am I doing it right?” To which Janhvi cheekily responds, “I feel like you’re being conscious about your nails.” Khushi replies sweetly, “I don’t want your hair getting pulled.”

The video is overlaid with a playful caption that reads, “You can take the girl out of India… But you can’t take India out of the girl.” Janhvi later reshared the clip on her Instagram stories with a laughing “Lol.”

Fans relished the moment of sisterly love, but Janhvi is also receiving praise from her career. At Cannes, her most recent film, Homebound, which was produced by Karan Johar and directed by Neeraj Ghaywan, earned an incredible nine-minute standing ovation. The moving drama examines themes of aspiration, self-worth, and enduring friendships in a rural area of northern India.

As childhood friends who aspire to become police officers, Ishaan Khatter and Vishal Jethwa play the lead roles in the movie. They must overcome obstacles that try their character and their relationship. Her position as a versatile and promising talent in Indian cinema is further cemented by Janhvi's pivotal role in the narrative.
