Mrunal Thakur is currently on cloud nine — professionally and maybe, just maybe, personally too. With Son of Sardar 2 smashing at the box office and audiences showering her with love, the actress seems to be glowing more than ever. And according to the gossip mill, the reason behind that glow could be a certain South superstar — Dhanush.
From ‘Sita Ramam’ to a Box Office Ritual
After her pan-India breakthrough with Sita Ramam, Mrunal has built a habit — almost a ritual — of watching her films in theatres alongside her fans. Sharing her thoughts on Instagram, she wrote:
“Since Sita Ramam, I’ve made it a ritual to watch my films in theatres with all of you. The real magic happens when you laugh, cheer, and clap — that energy is our biggest reward.”
This emotional connect with audiences has become a signature for Mrunal, making her one of the few stars who truly enjoy soaking in live audience reactions.
The Rumour Mill: Enter Dhanush
But beyond the applause, there’s another story that’s got social media buzzing — whispers of a romance between Mrunal and Dhanush. The chatter began when Dhanush made a surprise appearance at the Son of Sardar 2 premiere in Mumbai. Yes, there were many celebrity guests, but their chemistry — shared laughs, lingering glances, and cosy pictures — became the evening’s highlight.
How Did It All Begin?
Sources claim the two first met at an event in South India, back when Mrunal was busy shooting Dacoit: A Love Story and shuttling between Mumbai and Hyderabad. One meeting led to another, and soon, the friendship deepened.
Insiders say the pair values their privacy but aren’t going overboard to hide things either. They’ve been spotted together casually, sharing photos, and apparently, their friends think they’re perfectly in sync in terms of personality and preferences.
Professional Highs, Personal Glow?
In Son of Sardar 2, Mrunal’s portrayal of Rabia — lively, spirited, and charming — has won over audiences. But some fans believe her radiant smile and sparkling eyes in recent appearances are telling another story.
One netizen commented, “When you fall in love, you change — that’s eternal truth!” Another wrote, “Their chemistry is so cute! If this is love, they’d make an amazing couple.”
Not everyone is convinced though. A few voices in the crowd are saying, “Too early to call it — maybe it’s just friendship.”
The Unanswered Question
Neither Mrunal nor Dhanush has confirmed or denied the rumours. Still, their easy camaraderie and the timing of these sightings have fans on full “romance radar” mode. Whether it’s true love or just a warm friendship, one thing’s for sure — Mrunal’s current happiness is hard to miss. And who knows? Maybe we are witnessing the first chapter of a beautiful love story.
