- “I’ve had my share of trolling for my pear-shaped body - I’d be told, ‘This won’t look good on you!’ and ‘Don’t wear body-hugging clothes!’ But why do we let anyone else dictate what we can and can’t wear? Why do we wait for Kardashians to change the beauty standards? Today, I want to change those beauty standards - by flaunting my curves, by wearing body-hugging clothes, and by loving myself unconditionally… because if I won’t, who will?”
Born and raised in a small town with big dreams, Mrunal first captivated audiences with her breakthrough role in the Indian television show Kumkum Bhagya, quickly rising to become a beloved figure in the world of cinema.
With her honest and compelling performances in films like 'Super 30', 'Batla House,' and of course, ‘Sita Ramam’, Mrunal has not only won hearts in India but has also made her mark internationally with 'Love Sonia.' Her journey from television to the silver screen is a testament to her hard work and ambition.
Beyond the spotlight, Mrunal opens up about her personal challenges, from navigating mental health struggles and overcoming the harsh scrutiny of trolls to openly talking about her mental health and finding balance in a life lived in the public eye.
Her filmography includes movies like Hello Nandan, Vitti Dandu, Surajya, Love Sonia, Super 30, Batla House, Ghost Stories, Toofaan, Dhamaka, Jersey, Sita Ramam, Jahaan, Selfiee, Gumraah, Lust Stories 2, Aankh Micholi, Pippa, Hi Nanna, The Family Star, and Pooja Meri Jaan.
Join us as we delve into the lows and celebrate the highs of her career, discover her perspectives on relationships, and get a sneak peek at what's next for this phenomenal talent. Don't miss a moment of this compelling conversation with Mrunal Thakur-it's sure to inspire and captivate!

One of the best written female characters 🥰
"Flaunting my curves" the way she accepts her body.... truly amazing. Everyone should learn from this
Loved the episode
So so true! ❤️❤️
Nice interview. 👍
Many ITV stars are good looking & better actor than most of the nepo Bollywood babies, but they struggled in BW. I'm very happy for Mrunal success in the film industry. She's beautiful and can act.
The way Mrunal took Marathi actor's name & Marathi movie shows how she has not forgotten her roots
She is such a breath of fresh air! ❤
So true! She really is. ❤️
I love her ❤❤She is so calm and secure in her thoughts and her perspective. She is a finest actor and flawless and gorgeous
Such an honest and genuine human! We haven’t come this far to come this far- my take away from the episode❤
Such a powerful line! ❤️❤️
She is really bold in and out. We need actress like her in every industry to take our cinema world into global level ❤

Great interview.... Worth watching...😊❤

Karishma Diii. I'm upgrading myself as a person. And tbh you are my inspiration. The way you calmly talk with people I observ always very carefully. Thank You So Much for serving best podcast. Love you Diii. 🤗✨
She is a pure heart and a kind hearted girl who will be most successful in her life.❤
Amazing! And very inspiring to hear actors about body positivity ❤
Such a breath of fresh air! ❤️
Though I haven't watched the whole interview, but still could you please stop making captions and thumbnails about her body? Highlighting her body-related issues every time only gives haters more ammunition to troll and demean her. It's not a solution. So, please, stop it 🙏🙏🙏🙏
To be honest, she is a pretty fit girl trying to act as a very obese girl who's been victimized by society. I mean she did become an actress with this same body n face and if the society was so un-accepting, how would she become an actress in the first place? She's just embarked on this body positivity band wagon to have something of her own and exploiting the feelings of the true obese girl with true problems. And I really hate her "snapping the fingers" "imma change those beauty standards" fake attitude!😂😂
💕💕💕 The Whole episode especially the Advice part 🧿
She’s comes across very pure ❤
You are an inspiration 💛
The way she answered about the cancel culture! The girl has my heart all the time 🫂💓
We admire her ❤❤❤
Mah girl❤❤ hope she will get better scripts from bollywood too! She deserves it.
the best collab!!!
Thank you so much! 🙏🏻❤️
She deserves everything and many more... ❤❤.
It's a 51-minute long interview, but there is no update about her upcoming project🙂 Though I love listening to her, the way she speaks, and knowing unknown facts about her journey but i was expecting some updates related to her work as well.
What a lovely episode and what a lovely woman ❤
We couldn’t agree more! 🙏🏻❤️

Let mrunal speak
Yesteryear glamour was always curvaceous. Bollywood brought this size zero thing. Kareena Kapoor if I remember it right.
The host is more beautiful than Mrunal. So composed, so stylish and so attractive ❤
We all can learn to praise one individual without putting down another individual. #peace #love
She just keeps giving hit after hit
Absolute star! 🙏🏻❤️
She is fav❤
Ours too! ❤️

जय सीता महालक्ष्मी 🙏
MRUNAL THAKUR 🤌✨🥺💖
Such a pure hurted girl
love from 🇵🇰 mrunal❤

Who cares about her curves and all. She is an actor and i am pretty sure she has paid experts on health and hence, she is perfectly healthy. So, its not some health-hazard(if it were truly fat, there is heart-risks). So i wont understand why people make such a big thing out of it. To me, she looks gorgeous(and i am saying that with having barely seen her lower body) she is naturally beautiful and her character is simply captivating and she is genuine, what else would better define beauty
❤
Please bring parampujya Krishnapriya ji

I like her with straight hair❤... Don't know why she always curls them😅.... it dominates her pretty face😐
Yep! Even her original hair is straight but she likes curly hair 😄
@@user-tw5nt5cp6l The curls don't suit her, she looks aged with heavy curls.
So shabby studio....

Mrunal said initially that she is focused and do things that she really want and later a contradictory statement that I want to flow like a river. Madam please give interviews whole presence of your mind not to just show.
I think what she really mean is that
she can't predict life but will be focused on overcoming whatever situation or hurdles life throws in.... more like Be focused on your goals without the fear of end results...

😂😂😂😂😂😅😅😅😅😅
Who's the celebrity here?
Mrunal Thakur
😴😬💕💙
Mrunal please don’t do interviews with her she is dominating you
Very conflicting episode for me to watch, as much as I love Mrunal, I just hated the host, if not more 😔
Mam, if you don't marry timely, you will have no choice at all. In that situation, all you will get is 3rd 4rth wife of some old muslim guy.
🐄🐄🐄
தலைப்பேதவறா இருக்கே
Anchor is more beautiful than the actor itself 😅
Dislike Humans of bombay.
Band krwana h ye channel
Vote for kriti Sanon ?
These two and @bohogirl aka kritika khurana will make such a good conversation ❤

Thank you 0 Subscribe 😢😢😊
Why?? Freeze eggs
Ye kya koi naya trend aa gya hai kya...... ki Aurto ko bache nhi krne...ek naya option mil gya hai inko...... aapki maa ne bhi yhi kiya hota toh aaj aap ye bakwaas nhi kr rhe hote.... WOKE ....
Maa bnne main sharam aati hai, ya bacho se ghin aati hai
(Filmo main , interviews main toh bhut gyaan diya jaata hai)
Such a free flowing conversation- love MT; so warm & full of life. Loved this conversation! ❤
