Mrunal Thakur Dismisses Rumours Linking Her to Dhanush, Calls Speculation Baseless
Actor Mrunal Thakur has firmly denied recent social media rumours linking her to actor Dhanush, calling the claims completely false and unfounded. Addressing what has been described online as a “marriage controversy,” the actor said the speculation has no basis in reality and unfairly intrudes into her personal life.
In a strongly worded statement, Mrunal emphasised that her identity should be defined by her work rather than gossip or fabricated narratives. She expressed concern over how her name has been dragged into conversations she never initiated and decisions she never made. Clarifying her association with Dhanush, she stated that he has always been like a brother to her and that their relationship is purely professional, rooted in mutual respect.
Mrunal also questioned the tendency to judge women in the film industry based on their personal lives rather than their professional achievements. She said choosing silence should not be interpreted as guilt or secrecy, but rather as a conscious effort to protect personal boundaries. According to her, one’s private life does not require public approval or validation.
Reflecting on her career, the actor reminded audiences that her journey has been shaped by years of auditions, rejections, perseverance and self-belief. She said it is deeply unfair to reduce such sustained effort to rumour-driven speculation.
Mrunal further urged social media users to act responsibly, noting that likes, shares and comments—though seemingly trivial—can have serious consequences for real people. Bringing the matter to a close, she categorically stated that there is no truth whatsoever to the rumours circulating about her, a stance that has drawn widespread support from fans and industry colleagues.
