How The Internet Reacted
An old Reddit thread was also created where the Internet had reactions to Mrunal Thakur seemingly commenting on another fellow actress.
One person wrote, "She has always been a typical mean girl lol, anyone who has watched her on Nach Baliye knows, she was mean towards her ex also, plus she has a veryyyy crass way of talking, which is why I have never liked her and will not be rooting for her."
Another person mentioned, "Bruuuh, she said she's better than Bipasha. She stands nowhere remotely close to Bipasha."
Some other comments read, "Good her meanness came out to the fore. I never got good vibes from her, and don't understand people simping over her. She's not even a good actress - just passable", and "Come on Mrunal, do better, just like the skin lightening injections that worked on you."

Clearing the air over Dhanush's presence at the event, Mrunal said, "Dhanush attended the Son of Sardaar 2 event. No one should misunderstand that. It was Ajay Devgn who invited him."

Optical Illusion: Only sharp eyes will spot the sneaky fourth cat before the clock hits zero!
A mind-bending optical illusion challenges viewers to find a hidden fourth cat camouflaged within a photo featuring three prominently displayed black cats. The puzzle exploits the brain's tendency to focus on high-contrast shapes, making the camouflaged feline difficult to detect. Successfully spotting the hidden cat within seven seconds indicates sharp visual processing skills, highlighting the brain-training benefits of such illusions. At first glance, this photo appears to depict three cute black cats perched in a tidy vertical row. Their shiny coats and inquisitive eyes render them immediately visible against the brown landscape. But here's the surprise, there exists a fourth cat that is secreted somewhere in this picture. Your task is to detect it within 7 seconds! Credit: ConsistentCover2527/ Reddit This illusion takes advantage of the human brain's bias for looking at high-contrast shapes; here, the black cats stand out clearly against soil and gravel. The fourth cat is a camouflage expert, disappearing so well into its background that your eyes may overlook it altogether. Ready? Breathe deeply, set your timer for 7 seconds, and begin sweeping the image. Don't merely trace the obvious line of the three cats that are easily seen; rather, allow your eye to roam to the areas in between and outside. Search for gentle variations in texture, soft edges, or patterns that appear "out of place" within the dirt, sticks, and leaves. If you are able to spot the invisible cat before the time expires, well done, your eyesight is super-sharp! If you're still at a loss, the following tip should help, the sneaky cat is not in the same colour palette as the rest of the pack, so its camouflage is even more subtle. Optical illusions such as this are not only entertaining; they're also great brain training. They test your visual processing skills, sharpen your concentration, and train your brain to pay attention to details you might have otherwise missed. So, were you able to spot the fourth cat in 7 seconds, or did this sneaky cat outsmart your peepers? Either way, it's a reminder that the most evident things are sometimes right in front of your eyes.
