Mrunal Thakur has found herself in the middle of a controversy after her old video of body-shaming Bipasha Basu went viral. After facing criticism, the actress has apologised for her old remarks and said that it was never her intention to body-shame anyone.
Mrunal wrote on Instagram, “19-year-old me as a teenager said many silly things. I didn’t always understand the weight of my voice or how much words, even in jest, could hurt. But it did and for that I am deeply sorry.”
She added, “My intent was never to body-shame anyone. It was playful banter in an interview that went too far. But I understand how it came across, and I truly wish I had chosen my words differently. With time, I have grown to appreciate that beauty comes in every form, and that’s something I truly value now.”

About The Controversy:
In her old video, Mrunal was seen giving an interview with her co-star Arjit Taneja. The controversy was caused due to her remark, “Do you want to marry a girl who is manly with muscles? Go marry Bipasha.” She added, “Listen, I am far better than Bipasha, okay?”
This did not sit well with netizens, who slammed Mrunal for body-shaming Bipasha. Later, Bipasha also shared a cryptic note regarding the controversy but did not name Mrunal. The note read, “Strong women lift each other up. Get those muscles beautiful ladies… we should be strong… muscles help you attain good physical and mental health forever! Bust the age old thought process that women should not look strong or be physically strong!”
