After weeks of rumours about Mrunal Thakur and Tamil superstar Dhanush, the actress has finally spoken about it. The rumours, which started after the two were spotted together on multiple occasions, had quickly gained traction on social media.
Speaking in an interview quoted by Only Kollywood, Mrunal laughed off the chatter, calling it “funny” and insisting there’s nothing romantic between them. “Dhanush is just a good friend to me,” she clarified.
Mrunal also addressed the recent buzz around Dhanush attending the Son of Sardaar 2 screening. She revealed it wasn’t her invite that brought him there, “Dhanush attended the Son of Sardaar 2 event. No one should misunderstand that. It was Ajay Devgn who invited him,” she said, ending the confusion.
The dating rumours started after Mrunal was seen at the wrap up party of Tere Ishq Mein, Dhanush’s upcoming film with Aanand L Rai. People also noticed a short chat between them at the Son of Sardaar 2 screening and that Mrunal recently followed Dhanush’s sisters on Instagram, which only fueled the gossip.
Dhanush was previously married to Aishwarya, daughter of superstar Rajinikanth, with some reports suggesting it was a love marriage, while others claim it was an arranged union. The couple tied the knot in 2004 and were together for 18 years before announcing their separation in 2022. Their divorce was finalised in November 2024, and they co-parent two sons, Yatra and Linga.
On the work front, Dhanush is preparing for Tere Ishk Mein with Kriti Sanon, which is set to release on November 28. Mrunal’s latest film, Son of Sardaar 2, was released in theatres on August 1.
