Following the release of an old interview tape in which she made disparaging remarks against Bollywood star Bipasha Basu, actress Mrunal Thakur went viral online. Regarding marrying a “manly girl with muscles,” the Son of Sardaar 2 actress made a reference to Bipasha Basu in the tape, which is thought to be from her early television days on Kumkum Bhagya. However, after facing criticism on the internet, the actress later apologised. In a video that is currently going popular online, Mrunal Thakur discusses turning down a movie and notes that the woman who starred in it isn’t working right now. Despite the fact that Mrunal did not name anyone, online users who responded to it believe she was referring to Anushka Sharma.

The actress was heard discussing her rejection of a film that included an actress who is currently unemployed in a video of Mrunal Thakur that went popular on Reddit. Speaking about turning down projects, she stated, “To be honest, I didn’t want to because I wasn’t ready. Jayenge ho jayenge controversies. It helped the female actress get there and became a huge hit. However, I later recognised that I would have lost myself if I had made that movie at that particular moment. She went on to say,
“She is not working at the moment, but I am, is itself a victory because I don’t want instant gratification, instant reognition, instant fame because anything that comes instantly goes away instantly.”
