Mrunal sets record straight

Mrunal has set the record straight on a video that has been doing the rounds on social media, which shows Mrunal and Yashasvi exiting the same Mumbai cafe.

When Mrunal was linked to Dhanush

Before being linked to Yashasvi, Mrunal Thakur was linked to actor Dhanush in 2025. The speculation began in August 2025, when Mrunal rushed to greet Dhanush at the premiere of her film Son of Sardaar 2. Seeing the warmth of their interaction, many claimed Dhanush had attended the screening specifically to support her.

Reports also claimed that the two stars were going to get married in 2026. However, neither Mrunal nor Dhanush ever publicly addressed the reports, and the actor's close associates even dismissed the claims. A reliable source told HT City, “Mrunal is not getting married next month. This is a rumour which has caught wind."
