Mrunal Thakur finally breaks her SILENCE on dating rumours with Dhanush: 'I am aware...'
Actress Mrunal Thakur has finally addressed the rumours linking her to Tamil star Dhanush. Speculations intensified about the possible romance between the two after they were spotted together on multiple occasions. The Son of Sardaar 2 actress has now come forward to clarify and state their equation. Mrunal Thakur REACTS to dating rumours with Dhanush
In a recent conversation cited by only Kollywood, Mrunal dismissed the rumours lightheadedly, calling Dhanush 'Just a good friend.' She admitted she was aware of the chatter in the media and found the speculations hysterical. 'I'm aware that a lot of news has been circulating about the two of us being linked together recently. I just found it funny when I saw it.' She said.
Adding to the buzz, Mrunal clarified that she didn't personally invite Dhanush to the screening of Son of Sardaar 2. 'Dhanush attended the Son of Sardaar 2 event. No one should misunderstand that. It was Ajay Devgn who invited him,' she explained, putting end to the speculations. How the buzz started?
The rumours started ever since Mrunal attended the wrap-up party of Dhanush's upcoming film Tere Ishk Mein, helmed by Aanand L Rai. Moreover, the buzz intensified after the duo shared a brief moment at the Son of Sardaar 2 screening, where Dhanush was papped holding her hand. Gossips further fueled after Mrunal began following Dhanush's sisters on Instagram. Some reports claim that the two want to keep their relationship private, but Mrunal's fresh statements have put the rumours to the rest- at least for now.
For the unversed, Dhanush was previously married to director Aishwarya Rajinikanth, daughter of superstar Rajinikanth. The couple, who have two sons, Linga and Yatra, mutually parted ways after 18 years in 2022.
