Mrunal Thakur’s Clarification on the Rumours
In an interview quoted by Only Kollywood, Mrunal Thakur laughed off the dating speculations, calling them “funny” and entirely baseless. She emphasized that her equation with Dhanush is purely platonic, stating, “Dhanush is just a good friend to me.”
She further addressed one of the most discussed incidents—Dhanush’s presence at the Son of Sardaar 2 screening. Setting the record straight, Mrunal explained, “Dhanush attended the Son of Sardaar 2 event. No one should misunderstand that. It was Ajay Devgn who invited him.”
With this clarification, she put an end to assumptions that she was responsible for inviting the actor to the event.
How the Rumours Started
The gossip mill began churning after Mrunal was seen at the wrap-up party of Tere Ishq Mein, Dhanush’s upcoming film with director Aanand L Rai. Their friendly exchanges and public appearances quickly caught fans’ attention.
The speculation intensified during the Son of Sardaar 2 screening, where a short video of the two sharing a light moment went viral. Adding more fuel, social media users noticed that Mrunal had recently followed Dhanush’s sisters on Instagram—a move many interpreted as a subtle sign of closeness.
Dhanush’s Personal Life in the Spotlight
Part of the reason the rumours gained such traction is Dhanush’s high-profile personal life. The actor was married to Aishwarya Rajinikanth, daughter of legendary actor Rajinikanth, for 18 years before their separation in 2022. The former couple shares two sons, Linga and Yatra.
Given Dhanush’s single status and Mrunal’s growing prominence in Bollywood, the pairing became an instant topic of interest among fans and media alike.
Friendship Over Romance
Despite the social media buzz, Mrunal Thakur’s latest statement leaves no room for misinterpretation—she and Dhanush share a strong friendship, nothing more. Her candid dismissal of the rumours reflects her focus on her career and her unwillingness to let gossip overshadow her work.
Whether fans will accept her explanation remains to be seen, but for now, the actress has made her stance crystal clear.
Upcoming Projects for Both Stars
Mrunal Thakur continues to build an impressive filmography, with multiple Bollywood and South Indian projects lined up.
Dhanush is gearing up for the release of Tere Ishq Mein and several other high-profile ventures, solidifying his status as one of India’s most versatile actors.
The Final Word
While celebrity link-up rumours are nothing new in the entertainment industry, Mrunal Thakur’s direct clarification on the Dhanush dating buzz shows her willingness to address public curiosity head-on. For now, fans can look forward to seeing both stars shine in their upcoming films—minus the romance angle.
