Bollywood actor Mrunal Thakur shared her and her mother's reaction to dating rumours with Indian cricketer Shreyas Iyer.
Bollywood actor Mrunal Thakur has recently been grabbing headlines for her personal life. A few weeks ago, the actor was rumoured to be dating Dhanush, and their comments on each other’s posts fuelled the speculation. However, chatter on Reddit claimed that Mrunal has been dating cricketer Shreyas Iyer for the past few months, and that they have been keeping things low-profile. Now, a day after this post surfaced, the actor has revealed how she handles rumours.
Mrunal Thakur reacts to her dating rumours
On Sunday, Mrunal took to Instagram and shared a video of her mother giving her a head massage as she recorded them. They are both seen laughing while looking at the camera. Along with the video, Mrunal wrote, “They talk, we laugh. P.S. Rumours are free PR and I love free stuff!” However, the actor didn’t reveal which rumour she was addressing, but the video appeared to be a reaction to her recent dating speculation.
The Reddit post claimed that Shreyas Iyer and Mrunal Thakur have been quietly seeing each other for a few months and that it is still in the early stages. It further claimed that they have been keeping things low-profile because cricket fans can be intense, and Mrunal is “at a peak in her career right now.”
Before this, Mrunal was rumoured to be dating actor Dhanush. In August, they sparked dating rumours when they were spotted together at the premiere of her film Son of Sardaar 2. Reports of her following Dhanush’s sisters on Instagram further added to the buzz. Recently, when Dhanush shared pictures from his visit to Varanasi for the promotion of his film Tere Ishk Mein, Mrunal’s comment added more fuel to the speculation.
