The internet is scary for celebs even. The recent stir that put Mrunal Thakur in headlines for the wrong reason is proof. If you are unaware of what happened, a 10+ year-old video of Mrunal Thakur calling actress Bipasha Basu ‘manly’ somehow resurfaced online, causing the latter to react strongly.
Bipasha, in her Instagram Story, posted a quote saying, “Strong women lift each other,” and also took a subtle dig at Mrunal, saying, “Bust the age-old thought process.” These counter-reactions went viral in no time and reached Mrunal Thakur, who is currently enjoying star status.
Without any delay, she took to her Instagram as well and apologized to the Dhoom 2 actress: “19-year-old me, as a teenager, said many silly things. I didn’t always understand the weight of my voice or how much words, even in jest, could hurt. But they did, and for that, I am deeply sorry.”
“My intent was never to body-shame anyone. It was playful banter in an interview that went too far. But I understand how it came across, and I truly wish I had chosen my words differently. With time, I’ve grown to appreciate that beauty comes in every form, and that’s something I truly value now,” concluded the Sita Ramam beauty.
This became a viral topic on social media, with some even calling out her choice of words.
On the professional front, Mrunal has a lot of potential projects in the pipeline, but her recent outing, Son of Sardaar 2, fell flat at the box office. She has Dacoit next for release.
