Mrunal Thakur, known for her acting skills, has recently faced severe online trolling after an old video resurfaced. In the clip, taken during an interview on the sets of her TV show Kumkum Bhagya, she made comments comparing herself to Bipasha Basu, claiming she was better than the actress.
The video shows her co-star Arjit Taneja being asked about his preferred type of partner for marriage. He mentions that he would like someone physically fit. In a playful exchange, Mrunal jokingly tells him to marry Bipasha Basu and adds that she herself is far better than Bipasha.
Though the remarks were lighthearted at the time, the video has gone viral and drawn heavy criticism. Fans have been trolling Mrunal, arguing that Bipasha Basu is far superior and defending her achievements vigorously.
Comments on the video emphasise Bipasha’s popularity and legacy, with users stating that songs and iconic performances named after Bipasha prove her superiority. Many expressed disbelief at Mrunal’s comparison.
Some viewers have come to Mrunal’s defence, noting that opinions can change over time and that the actress may no longer hold the same views. Despite this, the trolling continues to grow, putting her under scrutiny once again.
The timing of this controversy is particularly challenging, as her recent film Son of Sardaar 2 is struggling at the box office. The viral video could further impact her image and public perception on social media.
