Bollywood actress Mrunal Thakur recently found herself back in the spotlight after fresh dating rumours began circulating online. A few weeks ago, she was linked to actor Dhanush when screenshots of their social-media interactions went viral, sparking widespread speculation. Neither of the two commented on the buzz. Now, a new post on Reddit has claimed that Mrunal has been dating cricketer Shreyas Iyer for the past few months and that the pair has been keeping their alleged relationship low-key.
A day after the Reddit post started trending, Mrunal appeared to indirectly address the chatter. Though she did not mention the rumours explicitly, she shared a light-hearted Instagram story that many believe was her way of responding. In the clip, the actress is seen laughing while her mother gives her a champi. Alongside the video, she wrote a cheeky caption: “They talk, we laugh. P.S. Rumours are free PR and I love free stuff!” Her reaction suggested that she is unbothered by the speculation and does not take the rumours seriously.
The viral Reddit post had alleged that Mrunal and Shreyas Iyer had been quietly seeing each other and were keeping things discreet to avoid media attention. However, Mrunal’s playful response hints that there may be little substance to these claims.
