Mrunal Thakur is currently navigating a wave of online backlash after an old video from her Kumkum Bhagya days resurfaced, showing her making a remark about Bipasha Basu. In the clip, while discussing fitness with co-star Arjit Taneja, Mrunal said, “Go marry Bipasha then. Listen, I am far better than Bipasha.” The comment, now widely shared, has drawn criticism for being dismissive and disrespectful.
Social media users reacted strongly. One wrote, “You’re lucky people know you now after using Bipasha’s name,” while another said, “She insulted Bipasha — iconic woman.” An old Reddit thread also resurfaced, with users accusing Mrunal of being “mean” and having a “crass” way of speaking, further intensifying the scrutiny.
Social Media Post Amidst the Storm
Despite the controversy, Mrunal appeared unfazed on Monday, posting stylish photos in a sleek black outfit with sunglasses, captioned, “Stop staring!” While fans praised her look, others continued to bring up the Bipasha remark in the comments.
Romance Rumours with Dhanush
Adding to the buzz are rumours linking her to South Indian superstar Dhanush. The speculation intensified after Dhanush was spotted at a screening of Son of Sardaar 2, in which Mrunal stars. However, in a recent interview with Only Kollywood, she clarified, “Dhanush is just a good friend to me. It was Ajay Devgn who invited him to the event.”
