From Bipasha to Anushka, Mrunal Thakur has found herself in the spotlight for reasons other than her acting. Known for her role in Sita Ramam, the actress has been making headlines for her remarks in podcasts and interviews. Many fans feel she is giving off mean girl vibes lately.
A resurfaced old video of Mrunal added fuel to the fire. In it, she spoke harshly about Bipasha Basu, calling her manly and claiming to be more beautiful than her. Viewers were quick to criticise her words, and her male co-star in the video was seen defending Bipasha.
The backlash was intense, leading Mrunal to apologise. She clarified that she did not intend to disrespect Bipasha. Still, the incident continues to draw attention online, with many calling her statements unnecessary.
More recently, during a podcast, Mrunal hinted at rejecting a film that later made another actress famous. She said that although the actress gained popularity through that role, she herself is still active in the industry, which she considers a win.
Fans speculated that she was referring to Anushka Sharma and Sultan. This sparked another wave of trolling, with netizens accusing her of disrespect. They reminded her that Anushka had stepped away from films by choice, not because of career setbacks.
Many also pointed out that Mrunal should shift her focus back to her projects instead of relying on controversial remarks. Some even compared her approach to that of Urvashi Rautela, who often faces criticism for chasing publicity.
