Dhanush and Mrunal Thakur
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.
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.”
