The Dhanush, Kriti Sanon starrer ‘Tere Ishk Mein’ finally hit theatres today. It sees him alongside Kriti Sanon. Just on the eve of release, Dhanush shared a set of photos from his recent trip to Banaras, reflecting on how the city marked the beginning of his journey as ‘Kundan’ in Aanand L Rai’s ‘Raanjhanaa’. His post quickly drew attention, particularly because Mrunal Thakur dropped a heartfelt comment, amidst their dating rumours. On Wednesday, Dhanush posted several images from Banaras, including a few featuring filmmaker Aanand L Rai, who directed both ‘Tere Ishk Mein’ and ‘Raanjhanaa’. In his caption, he revisited his emotional connection with the city and wrote, “A walk through the memory lane Where it all started. KUNDAN. A character that refuses to let go of me,even after more than a decade. The Name Kundan still echoes in the narrow lanes of banaras as people call out to me and I still turn and smile. Now walking through the same lanes , sitting in front of the same house, sipping chai from the same tea shop, and walking by the shores of the holy Ganges , with the man who gave me Kundan , feels like a full circle. Now it’s time for Shankar. Tere ishk mein … FROM TOM. Har Har Mahadev.”Responding to the post, Mrunal Thakur cheered him on with an enthusiastic message. She wrote, “@dhanushkraja Sir… what a beautiful journey ! BLOCKBUSTER!! CULT!!! LEGACY!!”, adding a high-five emoji. Dhanush acknowledged it with smileys and a white heart emoji.
This conversation added fuel to the rumours of their relationship. Rumours linking Dhanush and Mrunal first surfaced in August after they were seen together at the premiere of ‘Son Of Sardaar 2’. Her appearance at the wrap celebration of ‘Tere Ishk Mein’, as well as her recent move to follow Dhanush’s sisters on Instagram, further intensified curiosity, although both have chosen to keep silent about their personal lives.
