Producer Pragya Kapoor recently came in support of actress Mrunal Thakur, following her interview fiasco around Bipasha Basu. During her Kumkum Bhagya days, Mrunal had body shamed Bipasha. While the trolling from Mrunal was buried all this while, the old interview recently surfaced online inviting lots of flak.
Amidst this scandal, Mrunal also commented on her old remark and apologized for it on social media. Mrunal had written, '19-year-old me as a teenager said many silly things. I didn't always understand the weight of my voice or how much words, even in jest, could hurt. But it did and for that I am deeply sorry. My intent was never to body-shame anyone. It was playful banter in an interview, that went too far. But I understand how it came across, and I truly wish I had chosen my words differently. With time, I've grown to appreciate that beauty comes in every form, and that's something I truly value now.'

When Shah Rukh Khan said Archana Puran Singh's son had his hair; When Hrithik claimed his eyes
(Picture Courtesy: Facebook) Years ago, at a lively birthday celebration for Aryan Khan at Shah Rukh Khan 's iconic Mannat residence, Archana Puran Singh experienced a moment that would become one of her favourite anecdotes. As reported by NDTV, attending the party with her family, including her husband Parmeet Sethi and their young sons, Archana found herself in the middle of playful observations from two of Bollywood's biggest stars. Shah Rukh Khan wins his first National Award; celebs and fans celebrate the long-overdue honour 'His hair is exactly like mine' — Shah Rukh Khan Archana recalled that as soon as they arrived, Shah Rukh Khan met her son Ayushmann and immediately commented, 'His hair is exactly like mine.' Without another word, SRK moved on to greet other guests, leaving Parmeet Sethi shooting his wife a curious, almost suspicious glance. The light-hearted moment didn't end there. Moments later, Hrithik Roshan , also at the party, came up to Ayushmann, took a good look at him, and declared, 'His eyes are exactly like mine.' Cue another pointed stare from Parmeet. Family resemblance wins in the end Laughing as she retold the story to Ajay Devgn and Mrunal Thakur, who were visiting her home during promotions for 'Son of Sardaar 2', Archana was quick to clarify that despite SRK's and Hrithik's observations, both her sons — Ayushmann and Aaryamann — actually resemble their father, Parmeet Sethi. 'They both look exactly like him,' she said, putting the playful speculation to rest. Mrunal Thakur, hearing the tale for the first time, was left in stitches, while Ajay Devgn smiled knowingly at the familiar mix of celebrity banter and family pride. Meanwhile, 'Son of Sardaar 2' received mixed reviews from the audiences. On the other hand, Hrithik Roshan's 'War 2' has hit the big screens and is doing a decentbox office performance.

Pragya Kapoor shows support for Mrunal Thakur amid backlash over her old 'manly' comment on Bipasha Basu: 'One of the rarest souls I know'
Producer Pragya Kapoor has seemingly come out in support of actress Mrunal Thakur, who has been facing criticism after an old interview resurfaced online in which she made an unkind remark about Bipasha Basu . The viral clip, dating back to Mrunal's Kumkum Bhagya days, has been widely shared on social media, with many accusing the actress of "body-shaming" Bipasha. Mrunal issues public apology As the backlash grew, Mrunal addressed the controversy head-on, admitting her mistake. In an Instagram Story shared on Friday, the actress wrote that, at 19, she had said 'silly things' without understanding the 'weight of her words' and how even playful banter could end up hurting someone. She added that, over time, she has learned to appreciate that 'beauty comes in all forms.' Pragya and Hina Khan praise Mrunal's honesty Mrunal's candid apology has drawn support from several industry colleagues. Pragya Kapoor praised her without directly referencing the controversy, writing on Instagram Stories, 'Mrunal, your kindness, generosity, and endless support make you one of the rarest souls I know. Keep glowing and spreading love everywhere you go. Love you, darling.' Earlier, Hina Khan also lauded Mrunal for owning up to her mistake. She shared, 'Wisdom is the fruit of the tree of knowledge, rooted in experiences. We all make mistakes, especially when we are younger. I can very well relate to Mrunal... But with time, we evolve, we become kinder, we become compassionate. We learn by lifting each other up, fixing each other's crown.' Mrunal Thakur apologizes for Bipasha Basu remark: 'My intent was never to body-shame' Bipasha's cryptic response Meanwhile, Bipasha Basu appeared to respond indirectly to the resurfaced video. On Wednesday, she shared a cryptic post on Instagram Stories that read, 'Strong women lift each other up.' Adding her own note, Bipasha wrote, 'Get those muscles, beautiful ladies! We should be strong. Muscles help you attain good physical and mental health forever! Bust the age-old thought process that women should not look strong or be physically strong.' Though she didn't mention Mrunal by name, many interpreted the post as a subtle response to the controversy.
