An old video clip has brought actress Mrunal Thakur into the spotlight for all the wrong reasons. In the video, Mrunal compares herself to veteran actress Bipasha Basu. This particular comment has sparked a big outcry online, with many people calling her arrogant.
Stardom often brings its own share of public drama. Recently, a video featuring Mrunal from her days on the TV show ‘Kumkum Bhagya’ resurfaced. In the clip, she is talking to her co-star Arjit Taneja. She asks him if he prefers girls with muscles. When Arjit replies that he likes fit girls, Mrunal quickly suggests, “Then marry Bipasha.” Arjit praises Bipasha, but Mrunal confidently declares, “I am better than Bipasha.” This bold statement from the past has now angered many internet users.
The moment the old video went viral, social media lit up with reactions. Netizens accused Mrunal of showing arrogance, envy, and even body-shaming. Many users pointed out that artists should appreciate each other’s achievements instead of trying to prove they are better. One user wrote, “Someone who hasn’t even properly made a place in the industry is comparing herself to an iconic actress like Bipasha!” Another user quipped, “Actresses like Bipasha would eat a hundred like Mrunal for breakfast.” This strongly worded comment showed how much the audience disapproved.

It’s not just this old video that has Mrunal Thakur in the news. Her recent film, ‘Son of Sardar 2’, has also been a topic of conversation. She played the main role alongside superstar Ajay Devgn. The movie hit theaters on August 1st, but it hasn’t performed as well as expected at the box office. Apart from her film, Mrunal is also making headlines due to rumors about her closeness with South industry superstar Dhanush. However, the actress has denied these reports, stating they are just good friends.
On the other hand, Bipasha Basu’s career speaks for itself. She made her big debut with the hit film ‘Ajnabee’. Later, she proved herself as a glamour queen and a powerful actress in movies like ‘Raaz’, ‘Jism’, and ‘Race’. Today, she is still seen as one of the boldest, fittest, and most independent actresses in the entertainment world. So, Mrunal’s claim of being better than Bipasha definitely did not go over well with the audience.
