Mrunal Thakur Opens Up About Dating Rumors with Dhanush

Dhanush and Mrunal Thakur have been making headlines recently, but not for a film project. It’s the dating rumors sparked by their multiple public sightings together. The moment that really set social media buzzing was their brief interaction at the premiere of Ajay Devgn and Mrunal’s film, Son of Sardaar 2. Dhanush’s presence there, combined with earlier moments like Mrunal attending the wrap party for his film Tere Ishq Mein, made people read between the lines.

What this really means is the public started piecing together their interactions as signs of a relationship. Reports claimed they shared similar values and personalities, and that friends were backing this pairing. Even small things, like Mrunal following Dhanush’s sisters on Instagram, were taken as hints. Since Dhanush’s separation in 2022 and divorce in 2024, he hadn’t been publicly linked to anyone, so the timing only added fuel to the fire.

But Mrunal recently spoke up in an interview and put the rumors to rest. She was clear: “Dhanush is just a good friend to me.” She even found the speculation amusing and stressed that Dhanush’s presence at the premiere was because Ajay Devgn invited him, not due to any personal connection with her.

This statement seems to cut the gossip at its roots. Right now, both actors are focused on their careers. Dhanush has several projects underway: Tamil films like Idly Kadai, Aanand L. Rai’s Tere Ishq Mein opposite Kriti Sanon, and D54 with director Vignesh Raja. Mrunal, after scoring hits like Sita Ramam and Hi Nanna in Telugu, is gearing up for Dacoit: A Love Story and other upcoming films like Hai Jawani Toh Ishq Hona Hai.
