Mrunal Thakur has once again become embroiled in controversy, this time due to resurfaced comments made in an interview. The actress is under fire for remarks concerning a film she turned down that subsequently became a major success. Netizens have interpreted her comments as alluding to Anushka Sharma and the film ‘Sultan’.
In the video clip, Thakur stated that she declined a role because she wasn’t prepared for the potential controversy. She added that while the film’s success aided the actress who replaced her, she felt she would have lost herself had she accepted the part. She also made comments about the actress’s current work status, which stirred further discussion among viewers.
One Reddit user specifically pointed towards ‘Sultan’ and Anushka Sharma as the subject of Thakur’s comments. Other users chimed in, citing Sharma’s involvement in ‘Sultan’ and noting her current absence from film projects. Prior to this, Thakur had also faced criticism for comments about Bipasha Basu’s physique. She later issued an apology for those remarks, acknowledging her youthful indiscretions and expressing regret for any hurt caused.
In the older interview, Thakur made a comment suggesting she was ‘far better’ than Bipasha. Bipasha responded with a message about strong women supporting each other, without directly naming Thakur. The incident highlights the ongoing scrutiny and impact of public statements in the entertainment industry.
