Actors Dhanush and Mrunal Thakur have been making headlines for a rumoured romance brewing between them. While the two have neither denied nor confirmed the rumours, their recent social media activity has once again added fuel to speculation about their equation. Dhanush recently shared a series of photos from his visit to Varanasi, reminiscing that the city is where his journey as Kundan from Aanand L Rai’s Raanjhanaa first began. His post received a comment from Mrunal Thakur, which further strengthened the rumours.
Mrunal cheers for Dhanush`s film
Ahead of the release of his film Tere Ishk Mein, Dhanush shared some pictures from his visit to Varanasi. Some of the photos also featured director Aanand L Rai, with whom he previously worked on Raanjhanaa and Atrangi Re. Reflecting on his journey, he wrote, “A walk through memory lane where it all started. KUNDAN. A character that refuses to let go of me even after more than a decade. The name Kundan still echoes in the narrow lanes of Banaras as people call out to me, and I still turn and smile. Now walking through the same lanes, sitting in front of the same house, sipping chai from the same tea shop, and walking by the shores of the holy Ganges with the man who gave me Kundan feels like a full circle. Now it’s time for Shankar. Tere Ishk Mein… FROM TOMORROW. Har Har Mahadev.”
Mrunal took to the comments section of the post, referred to Dhanush as “sir,” and expressed excitement for the new release. “dhanushkraja Sir… what a beautiful journey! BLOCKBUSTER!! CULT!!! LEGACY!!” she wrote, followed by a high-five emoji. Dhanush responded with hugs and a white heart emoji.
Are Dhanush and Mrunal Thakur dating?
Speculation about Mrunal and Dhanush dating gained momentum after the actors were seen together at the Son of Sardaar 2 screening. After the screening, they were spotted at Mrunal’s birthday bash, where a viral video shows them holding hands and smiling while talking to each other. Before this, Mrunal’s presence at the wrap party of Dhanush’s upcoming film Tere Ishk Mein had also raised eyebrows. Interestingly, it seems Dhanush has even introduced Mrunal to his family, as the actress was seen following his sisters amid the ongoing rumours.
For those unversed, Dhanush was previously married to Aishwaryaa Rajinikanth for 18 years. The couple, who share two sons, Yatra and Linga, announced their separation in 2022 and officially divorced in 2024.
