Mrunal Thakur Shares New Instagram Post After Backlash On Her Old Bipasha Basu Video

Actor Mrunal Thakur is in the news for more than just her professional endeavours. While her recent release, Son of Sardaar 2, fails to attract large audiences to the cinema halls, the 32-year-old actress has also been caught in a social media controversy after an old interview clip went viral, one where she seemingly took a jibe at co-actress Bipasha Basu. Adding to the buzz are whispers about her equation with Tamil star Dhanush.

Mrunal Thakur Shares New Instagram Post

On Monday, Mrunal appeared not to care about the gossip. She posted a series of fashionable photos on Instagram, wearing an all-black ensemble and oversized sunglasses, with a cheeky caption asking people to “stop staring.” Her comment section soon got flooded, some fans complimented her style and attitude, while others reopened the controversy. Some users accused her of “disrespecting” Bipasha, one commenting that her popularity boosted only after mentioning the veteran actress’s name.

The video that has seen criticism is her Kumkum Bhagya days, where she was discussing fitness choices with co-star Arjit Taneja. When they mentioned celebrity bodies, Mrunal playfully suggested he “go marry Bipasha” before stating that she was “better” than the Jism actress. The playful jab from years back hasn’t stood the test of time among many netizens, who now consider it an unwarranted jab.

Her personal life too has been an issue of discussion. Rumours of her being with Dhanush started after he graced the screening of Son of Sardaar 2. In a chat with Only Kollywood, Mrunal clarified the rumors, emphasizing that Dhanush is just a close friend. She explained that he had attended the event because Ajay Devgn personally invited him and not for any romantic relationship.

In spite of the two waves of gossip, professional and personal, Mrunal seems intent on bringing the discussion back around to her job.
