Filmmaker Zoya Akhtar has taken the internet by storm after viral pictures and videos showed her alongside Hollywood stars Jacob Elordi and Andrew Garfield. The trio was spotted at the opening ceremony of the 2024 Marrakech International Film Festival in Morocco on November 29, where they shared the stage and interacted with the audience.
In a video shared by fashion commentator Diet Sabya on Instagram Stories, Zoya was seen seated on a couch between Jacob and Andrew. The candid moment, featuring the three film personalities, quickly gained traction online. Adding to the buzz, Zoya also joined the actors on stage, where they addressed the audience in what appeared to be a lighthearted and lively interaction.

The unexpected sight of Zoya Akhtar with two Hollywood A-listers sparked a flurry of reactions on social media, particularly on X (formerly Twitter). “Oh, to be sitting between Andrew Garfield and Jacob Elordi like Zoya Akhtar,” wrote one user, encapsulating the collective envy of many.
Another comment read, “Zoya Akhtar chilling with Jacob Elordi and Andrew Garfield is killing me.” A fan jokingly referred to the moment as “the multiverse of madness,” while another quipped, “What timeline am I living in?” after sharing a clip of Jacob playfully tapping Zoya’s knee.
Starry Fashion at the Festival
Zoya dazzled at the event in a shimmery black co-ord set that complemented her effortless charm. Andrew Garfield kept it classic in an olive green shirt paired with a jacket and black trousers, while Jacob Elordi opted for a bearded look, donning a white shirt layered with a black blazer and matching pants.
Upcoming Projects for Zoya
While her international appearance is making waves, Zoya Akhtar is also in the news for her upcoming Bollywood project, Jee Le Zaraa. The film, starring Priyanka Chopra, Katrina Kaif, and Alia Bhatt, has faced delays amid rumors of being shelved due to scheduling conflicts.
