Mrunal Thakur has been grabbing headlines for multiple reasons lately. Firstly, she was rumored to be in a relationship with Dhanush, which the actress later denied. An old video of the actress has resurfaced on social media in which she allegedly body-shamed Bollywood actress Bipasha Basu. The video is from the initial days of her career while she was part of the television show Kumkum Bhagya.
In the viral video, Mrunal asks her co-star Arjit Taneja, “Do you want to marry a girl who is manly with muscles?”.When Arjit replied, he prefers a toned physique like Bipasha Basu. Mrunal then reacts, “Go marry Bipasha then. Listen, I am far better than Bipasha, ok.” The Son of Sardaar 2 actress faced heavy backlash for her comments against the Jism actress.
Bipasha has now shared a cryptic post on her Insta story about body positivity, and it appears to be a jab at Mrunal’s comments. The post has the caption: “Strong women lift each other up,” which was followed by a powerful note that states, “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!”
While the post shared by Raaz actress was meant to inspire women to embrace physical strength, many believe it’s a subtle dig at the Sita Ramam actress. Will Mrunal Thakur address the controversy once and for all, putting the issue to rest? Let’s see.
