Mrunal Thakur has been in the spotlight recently, but not for her films. Old interviews of the actress are going viral on social media, sparking fresh debates. In one such resurfaced video, many users believe Mrunal indirectly took a dig at Bollywood star Anushka Sharma for bagging the lead role in Salman Khan’s Sultan. This has led to a wave of online criticism, with fans calling out her remarks as “mean”. Earlier, the actress had also faced backlash for her comments about Bipasha Basu’s physique.

In the clip doing the rounds on Reddit, Mrunal Thakur can be seen recalling the time she rejected some films early in her career. She admitted that saying no back then allowed other actresses to shine in those roles. Without naming anyone directly, she said, “It became a superhit and helped the female actress to reach there. But then I realised if I had done that film at that point in time, I would have lost myself.”

The part that sparked controversy was when she added, “Then she is not working at the moment, but I am, which is itself a victory.” Many viewers linked this statement to Anushka Sharma, who played Aarfa in Sultan. Social media users were quick to point out that while Anushka may not be seen in films as often now, she has had a successful career, also turning producer with films like NH10 and Pari.
