auditioned for Aamir Khan's Thugs of Hindostan. In an interview with Bollywood Hungama, the Sita Ramam actress revealed that the audition process went 'lovely,' and she even did a look test with Aamir for the Yash Raj Films-backed project.
However, the role ultimately went to Fatima Sana Shaikh. Mrunal later chose to take on Love Sonia instead—a film that went on to earn her critical acclaim.
Journey so far
Mrunal Thakur began her acting career at 20 with the TV show Mujhse Kuchh Kehti...Yeh Khamoshiyaan and gained fame with Kumkum Bhagya. She made her film debut with Love Sonia in 2018 and went on to star in films like Super 30, Batla House, Toofaan, Jersey, and Pippa. In Telugu cinema, she's known for Sita Ramam and The Family Star, and also appeared briefly in Kalki 2898 AD.
Mrunal Thakur was born on August 1, 1992, into a Marathi-speaking family in Maharashtra. Her cousin, Dhaval Thakur, is also an actor. She studied at St. Joseph's Convent School and later at Vasant Vihar High School. Mrunal began college at KC College but left her studies midway to follow her passion for acting.
Mrunal's net worth
Success in the entertainment world today goes beyond just acting, and Mrunal Thakur is proof of that. According to India Today and Lifestyle Asia, her net worth is estimated at around Rs 33 crore.
She reportedly earns Rs 2 crore per film, with a monthly income of about Rs 60 lakh, thanks to brand deals, digital content, and public appearances.
In 2024, she bought two luxury flats in Mumbai's high-profile Oberoi Springs complex for a total of Rs 10 crore. Interestingly, both flats were purchased from actress Kangana Ranaut's family—one from her brother Akshat and the other from their father Amar. Mrunal was already living in the building and simply upgraded her home, turning it into a smart long-term investment.
She also has a strong love for cars, and her collection reflects both luxury and practicality. Her most prized vehicle, which cost around Rs 1.80 crore, was added in 2023. She also owns a car worth Rs 44 lakh for daily use and another worth Rs 33 lakh for longer trips and tougher roads. According to Cartoq, these aren't just showpieces—they're vehicles she drives regularly and genuinely enjoys.

Randhir Kapoor's old remark on Karisma Kapoor-Sunjay Kapur's marriage resurfaces: 'I never wanted my daughter marrying him'
The troubled marriage of Karisma Kapoor and Sunjay Kapur is back in the news. Sunjay Kapur recently passed away. A massive inheritance dispute worth Rs 30,000 crore is now the focus. An old interview of Randhir Kapoor criticising Sunjay has gone viral. Karisma may explore legal options for a share of the estate. Years after Karisma Kapoor and Sunjay Kapur's turbulent marriage and explosive divorce made headlines, the saga has resurfaced following Sunjay's sudden demise. With a massive inheritance dispute reportedly worth Rs 30,000 crore now in the spotlight, an old interview of Randhir Kapoor—where he openly criticised his daughter's former husband—has gone viral. Randhir Kapoor 's explosive interview In an old interview with Hindustan Times, he called his former son-in-law a 'third-class man,' making it clear he was never fond of him. Kapoor strongly criticised Sunjay, saying he never wanted Karisma to marry him. He accused Sunjay of mistreating her, being unfaithful, and living with another woman, adding that his reputation was widely known in Delhi. The veteran star's sharp response came soon after Sunjay accused Karisma of marrying him for his wealth. Denying the claims, Karisma's lawyer Kranti Sathe called the allegations false and added that it was up to Sunjay to prove them in court. Bitter divorce and custody disputes Meanwhile, in a petition filed by his lawyers Aman and Priya Hingorani and quoted by Mumbai Mirror, Sunjay accused Karisma of failing 'as a wife, a daughter-in-law and a mother," and further claimed she had an extramarital relationship. Karisma Kapoor and Sunjay Kapur got married in 2003 and share two children — Samaira and Kiaan. After the wedding, Karisma moved to Delhi, but returned to Mumbai with her children in 2011. The couple initially filed for divorce by mutual consent, but in November the following year, Karisma withdrew the petition, alleging that Sunjay had failed to fulfil the financial obligations outlined in their agreement. Inheritance row Following Sunjay Kapur's death in London on June 12, 2025, fresh developments have emerged regarding a reported Rs 30,000 crore inheritance dispute. A Dainik Jagran report suggested that Karisma may be exploring legal options to claim a share of her former husband's estate. Adding another twist to the ongoing estate conversation, Safira, the daughter of Sunjay's third wife, Priya Sachdev, has reportedly dropped her surname 'Chatwal' and adopted 'Kapur'. Industry observers believe the change may not just be symbolic but a strategic move, potentially aimed at strengthening her stake in the inheritance.
