Mrunal Thakur And Dhanush Dating Rumours: Actress Finally Breaks Silence, Says 'I'm Aware...'
Last Updated: Mrunal Thakur breaks silence on dating rumours with Dhanush, calling him a 'good friend' and clarifying Ajay Devgn invited him to Son of Sardaar 2 screening. Mrunal Thakur has finally addressed the swirling rumours linking her romantically to Tamil superstar Dhanush. The buzz intensified after the two were spotted together multiple times, sparking speculation of a new romance in Bollywood and Kollywood circles. However, the actress has stepped forward to set the record straight. In a recent interview cited by Only Kollywood, Mrunal laughed off the dating rumors, emphasizing their friendship instead. She said, 'Dhanush is just a good friend to me," brushing aside the rumors as lighthearted and unfounded. Aware of the media chatter, she called the speculations 'funny" and insisted there was nothing romantic between them. Adding to the clarification, Mrunal revealed that Dhanush's presence at the Son of Sardaar 2 screening was not due to her invitation. 'Dhanush attended the Son of Sardaar 2 event. No one should misunderstand that. It was Ajay Devgn who invited him," she explained, putting an end to misconceptions about her role in the actor's attendance. The rumours first started gaining traction when Mrunal was seen at the wrap-up party of Tere Ishq Mein, the upcoming film featuring Dhanush and Aanand L Rai. Additionally, during the Son of Sardaar 2 screening, the duo shared a brief moment that was widely circulated online, further fueling gossip. Mrunal's recent following of Dhanush's sisters on Instagram also added to the speculation, though both actors have remained discreet about their personal lives. Dhanush And Aishwaryaa Rajinikanth Divorce Dhanush, who was married to director Aishwarya Rajinikanth (daughter of superstar Rajinikanth) for 18 years, parted ways with her in 2022. The couple shares two children, Linga and Yatra. While fans continue to be curious about the relationship between Mrunal Thakur and Dhanush, the actress's statement clearly puts the rumors to rest — at least for now. view comments First Published: August 12, 2025, 05:37 IST Disclaimer: Comments reflect users' views, not News18's.

Before 50th b'day of ‘The Greatest Film Ever Made', Kolkata recalls its favourite ‘Sholay' moments that unite generations
1 2 3 4 5 6 Kolkata: It has been 50 years since Jai and Veeru took on Gabbar Singh in an epic battle that may have ended on-screen with the latter being vanquished, but it continues to enthral generations of cine-lovers. They remain enamoured by the drama, action, thrill, and sheer grandeur of 'Sholay', which hit the theatres on Aug 15, 1975. Initially written off as "another dacoit film with too much violence" by a section of critics, it turned out to be India's most successful film at the box office. Watching it multiple times became a ritual for millions across the country. They stood in night-long queues to buy tickets for the film, jostled and bargained with blackers, lied to parents to watch it on the sly, revelled in watching it with friends and families, and soaked in whatever happened around the screening, creating life-long memories for 'Sholay-addicts' who still swear by it. The magic of 'Sholay' hasn't curiously dwindled with time. It is still enjoyed by those who saw it half a century ago and millennials who have switched to OTT. Seventy-five-year-old Jawaharlal Yadav, then a resident of Chandernagore, watched the first show at Jyoti with two friends. He has vivid memories of the crowd spilling over at the theatre, the loud whistles at the dialogues, and the clatter of coins that were hurled at the screen after almost every scene. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like If the Cat Bites You, Here's What It Really Means. Weird Cat Behavior Explained Undo "We were at the balcony and could barely catch the dialogues due to the cheer and the chaos that broke out once the show started. It was clear that this film was going to make history, and it indeed came true. We returned to watch the film five times within the first two weeks," said Yadav, who is now a realtor in Kolkata.

"The aura of 'Sholay' has transcended generations. While my grandson hardly shares any common interest with me, 'Sholay' remains an exception," he said. Diotima Chattoraj, 33, now settled in Singapore with her husband Joyjit, watched 'Sholay' at a theatre there with their 10-year-old daughter Pritijita in June. "I first saw 'Sholay' as a nine-year-old at Menoka and wanted my daughter to do the same. Since it was running here, we rushed to catch the show. To my delight, my daughter loved it," she said. In Dec last year, Midnapore resident Bikash Sidhanta visited the location in Mysore where 'Sholay' was filmed. He learned about the spot from a taxi driver while arranging medical treatment for his wife. The Ramgarh station and the red hills are still there, he said. Now over 60, he watched the movie twice in Midnapore's Mahua and Aurora and once at Jyoti cinema in Kolkata. He still occasionally watches it on TV and has viewed it multiple times on YouTube. "During the lockdown, I discovered that Sholay's theme was inspired by the music director of the movie 'The Good, the Bad and the Ugly', which I then watched online. In Midnapore, I once stood in a long line to buy a front stall ticket for 75 paise, stepping on shoulders to reach the counter. I was 11 when the movie was released and have seen it many times since," he said. Sheikh Alam, a 62-year-old retired govt employee, echoed: "I have watched 'Sholay' 75 times in various theatres like Manoj Talkies, Paradise, Natraj, and Shankar. The dialogues and performances still move me," said Alam. Amitabh Bachchan Fan Club member Vijay Patodiya also watched the first show at Jyoti. "It was like a celebration, and the crowd went wild as Bachchan and Dharmendra exchanged fire with the dacoits chasing their train on horses. When Bachchan shot the last one, the cheer that followed blocked out all the dialogues for the next five minutes. I still get goosebumps thinking about it," he recalled.
