In a realm so good at suppressing individual lives, Mrunal Thakur is finally ready to begin speculation about some aspect of her dating life and plans for marriage. An actress who has carved a niche for herself in Hindi and Telugu cinema, she has said the priority for her now is career, not relationships and wedding vows. Mrunal has frequently been in hot air over the days that followed. Most highly publicized rumor was she was dating South Indian star Dhanush.
And the couple reportedly even had long term relationship plans with plans to get married. But that skepticism faded, as the two actors derided the allegations lightly. But the rumor mill did not shut down. Meanwhile, Mrunal, it was reported, had a collaborator on one of her Hindi films, launching a new cycle of talk on social media and entertainment sites. These rumors had a short-lived peak but quickly faded away with no truth. In an attempt to address these repeated allegations, Mrunal replied with honesty and reasonable reply.
She doesn’t have the time now, she said. Addressing the challenges of her job, the actress said she has a torn ligament in her body that she says is keeping her busy and that she did not have a space to spend a healthy time trying to heal, partially because she has a full-time job. And all of that serves only to confirm one thing she said over and over again: the unforgiving underpinnings of actors today most often overlooked by the newspapers.
“If I don’t even manage to take care of my health, where can I have time for relationship?” this person suggests she isn’t a realm of speculation but rather, she is ahead of her profession. Mrunal also suggested the bigger issue of nonstop media coverage. Rumors of her life aren’t only about relationships, she said. The reports of her signing or being dropped from films, or some assumptions about her choice as a private life (stories told over and over as a result of being in public), they are just narratives that are the mundane aspect of being in public light, the actress told me. But Mrunal doesn’t let them mess with her mind, she keeps things very practical.
I’d rather be complimented on my work and the stage than my personal life, she also said. This picture is also part of an increasing trend shared by a growing number of actors wishing to once more concentrate on the job and move on from gossiping about backstage procedures. “I just want to say I respect these lines,” Mrunal Thakur said, in an age filled with viral reports and speculation.
Not only does her clarity prove that false rumors must lie far away, but it also just helps strengthen her resolve something she knows she appreciates now more than ever, for this is not yet the endgame of her career.
