Actress Mrunal Thakur has landed in fresh controversy after an old interview resurfaced online. The Bollywood star, who earlier faced backlash for calling Bipasha Basu’s physique “manly,” is now being accused of shading Anushka Sharma. In the viral clip, Thakur spoke about rejecting films that later worked out for others, sparking debate over whether she was hinting at Anushka’s breakout role in Sultan.
Mrunal Thakur Trolled
In the interview, Mrunal Thakur admitted to rejecting a project that became a “superhit” for another actress. She said, “She is not working at the moment, but I am, which is itself a victory.” Netizens quickly linked this to Anushka Sharma’s Sultan role and called Thakur a “mean girl” for her remarks.
