Dating rumours swirled around actress Mrunal Thakur, 34, and cricketer Yashasvi Jaiswal, 24, after a video capturing them at the same Mumbai cafe went viral online. The footage, shot in Bandra West, fuelled speculation across social media, with multiple fan pages speculating that the two might be dating.
Mrunal Thakur reacts to viral video with a sharp comment
The actress appears to have addressed the speculation herself with a comment on Instagram. Responding to a post about the viral video, Mrunal seemed to push back against the assumption that being spotted at the same venue meant she and Yashasvi were together. “Bro relax… show me ek sath kahan? Kaise yaar, aap log itne padhe likhe log aise afwaao ko sach manne lagte hain?” Mrunal commented on an Instagram page.
Mrunal Thakur urges focus on more pressing issues
She went on to urge social media users to shift their attention to more pressing issues instead of fueling baseless rumours. “Desh mein kya kuch nahi ho raha hain. Gen Z se kuch sikhiye aur sahi muddon par videos baniye aur jyaada views mileenge,” she added.
Mrunal Thakur’s candid response wins praise online
The comment has since caught the internet’s attention, with fans praising Mrunal for addressing the speculation so candidly. Her response also makes clear that no romantic link between the actress and the young cricketer has been confirmed.
Mrunal Thakur was previously linked to Dhanush
Prior to this, Mrunal had been linked romantically to South actor Dhanush, a claim she consistently dismissed. Reports at the time had even suggested the two were planning to marry in a private ceremony on February 14, but the day came and went without any wedding, confirming the speculation had no basis.
Mrunal Thakur’s upcoming projects on the work front
On the work front, Mrunal was most recently seen in ‘Hai Jawani Toh Ishq Hona Hai’, headlined by Varun Dhawan and Pooja Hegde. She will next star alongside Huma Qureshi in the courtroom drama ‘Pooja Meri Jaan’, set to premiere on ZEE5, though a release date is yet to be revealed.
