The latest chatter in entertainment circles has finally been addressed! Actress Mrunal Thakur is clearing the air about recent dating rumors involving South superstar Dhanush. For a while now, whispers linked the two stars, making headlines across the industry.
Gossip went into overdrive when Mrunal and Dhanush were seen together at a screening. They were reportedly close at a showing of the film ‘Son of Sardar 2’. Before that, Mrunal had also attended the wrap-up party for Dhanush’s movie, ‘Tere Ishq Mein’. These public appearances fueled speculation among fans and media outlets. Social media, of course, added fuel to the fire. Some online portals even went so far as to claim they were a couple.
Just Good Friends, Says Mrunal
Mrunal Thakur has now put all these rumors to rest. She spoke out in an interview with ‘Only Kollywood’. Mrunal made it clear that her relationship with Dhanush is strictly platonic. She found the dating talks quite amusing, even laughing about them.
Mrunal explained Dhanush’s presence at the ‘Son of Sardar 2’ screening. She stated he was there only because Ajay Devgan had invited him. She finds it wrong to interpret such professional interactions as romantic. It seems a simple invitation led to a wave of unfounded gossip.
Misinterpretations and Personal Lives
Every action of celebrities can spark rumors. From Mrunal and Dhanush simply attending the same event, to Mrunal following Dhanush’s sisters on Instagram, every detail was picked apart. People turned these friendly actions into dating conjectures. Mrunal called these assumptions mere friendly gestures. She voiced her disappointment, noting it’s unfortunate when industry collaborations are misread as something more.
Dhanush’s personal life has also been in the spotlight recently. His marriage to Aishwarya, superstar Rajinikanth’s daughter, lasted eighteen years. They separated in 2022 and later divorced in 2024. The couple has two sons, Linga and Yatra. Given his recent past, any news about Dhanush’s relationships tends to draw extra attention.
