Comments from past interview spark debate
While fans celebrated her nostalgic post, a part of the internet revisited a resurfaced interview clip in which Mrunal discussed turning down major projects early in her career. She explained that she wasn’t ready at the time, saying that taking on those films could have led to controversies and that, although the projects became hits and boosted the female leads’ careers, she felt doing them then might have caused her to lose herself.She added that even if others around her aren’t currently working, her own consistent efforts are a victory. She emphasized that she doesn’t seek instant gratification, recognition, or fame, because anything that comes too quickly tends to fade just as fast.
Speculation about Anushka Sharma remark
Netizens speculated that her remarks were directed at Anushka Sharma, recalling Salman Khan’s revelation on Bigg Boss that Mrunal was initially considered the lead for Sultan before Anushka joined the project. The comments sparked mixed reactions, with some criticizing her for taking indirect jabs, while others defended her right to share her perspective.Meanwhile, Sita Ramam, starring Dulquer Salmaan, Mrunal Thakur, and Rashmika Mandanna, continues to captivate audiences even three years after its release. Set against the 1964 war, the period romance tells the poignant tale of a soldier (Dulquer) and the mysterious woman who sends him letters.
