Mrunal Thakur, the talented actor known for her roles in various films, has recently expressed her frustration over media outlets repeatedly referencing her past comment about being "madly in love" with cricketer Virat Kohli. This comment originally surfaced during the promotion of her sports drama Jersey, where she starred alongside Shahid Kapoor.
The drama began when a media portal, Instant Bollywood, shared an old interview snippet of Mrunal discussing her admiration for Kohli. As social media users engaged with the post, Mrunal felt compelled to respond. In a direct comment, she stated, “@instantbollywood STOP IT OK,” making it clear that she wishes to move on from that chapter of her life.
Reflecting on her earlier comment, Mrunal recalled a time when she was indeed enamoured with the cricket star. “There was a time when I was madly in love with Virat Kohli. I started liking cricket because of my brother, who’s a big fan. I have fond memories of watching a match live at a stadium with him around five years ago,” she shared. She also reminisced about wearing a blue jersey and cheering for the Indian team, noting the happy coincidence of being part of a cricket-themed film like Jersey.
Despite her fond memories, Mrunal is now focused on her career and upcoming projects. Recently, she appeared in Family Star, alongside Vijay Deverakonda, although the film received a mixed response from audiences. Additionally, she had a cameo in Kalki 2898 AD, featuring an impressive cast that includes Kamal Haasan and Amitabh Bachchan. Looking ahead, she has more exciting projects lined up, including Pooja Meri Jaan and a film produced by Sanjay Leela Bhansali.
