Many times, actors make headlines not because of their upcoming project or other work, but for their relationship status. Similarly, Mrunal Thakur was previously in the news after rumours of her dating actor Dhanush surfaced on social media, but now, the new gossip has arrived. Many on the internet are claiming that she is now dating famous cricketer Shreyas Iyer. Read to know more here.
About Mrunal Thakur, Shreyas Iyer
A Redditor recently claimed that popular actress Mrunal Thakur and India vice-captain Shreyas Iyer have been seeing each other for a few months. The post said that they were in the early stages of their alleged ‘private and exclusive’ relationship and that there’s no confusion or drama but just two people enjoying each other’s company. It also alleged that they have chosen to keep things low-key. This was notably because of their high-pressure careers.
Since Iyer is a star cricket player with a high fan base, and Mrunal is at an important stage of her acting journey. Rumours quote that they preferred to avoid being spotted in public to prevent media attention and put unnecessary pressure on their relationship. Speculations suggest that they usually meet through close friends and or at each other’s homes and not at public events.
