Zoya Akhtar is all over the headlines at the moment. The reason? Viral pictures and videos of the filmmaker chilling with Hollywood celebrities Jacob Elordi and Andrew Garfield. Yes, you read that right. In a video posted by fashion commentator Diet Sabya on Instagram Stories, Zoya can be seen sharing the couch with Jacob and Andrew. She sits in the middle with the two actors taking their seats on either side. Zoya even shared the stage with Jacob and Andrew as they addressed the crowd and gave a speech. The film personalities attended the opening ceremony of the 2024 Marrakech International Film Festival in Morocco on Friday (November 29).
Along with the video, Diet Sabya wrote, “Zoyuu what are you doing there?” Another text mentioned in the clip reads, “What is Zoya Akhtar doing between Andrew Garfield and Jacob Elordi?” Soon after Zoya's appearance at the international event went viral. Here's how the internet reacted to it on X (formerly Twitter).
“Oh to be sitting between Andrew Garfield and Jacob Elordi just like Zoya Akhtar is sitting between them at the Marrakech International Film Festival,” read a comment.

For the event, Zoya Akhtar picked out a shimmery black co-ord set. While Andrew Garfield wore an olive green shirt under a jacket and black pants. Jacob Elordi with his bearded look layered his white shirt with a black blazer and matching trousers.

However, Zoya confirmed that Jee Le Zaraa is "very much in the works”. She said, “I think aligning the three of them, their dates, and Farhan, his dates". Full story here.
