After two weeks of relentless internet speculation, Mrunal Thakur has finally addressed the viral rumours of her supposed Valentine’s Day wedding to South superstar Dhanush. Speaking on Sunday, February 15, 2026, just a day after the rumored date passed without a ceremony, the actor revealed she found the situation more comical than annoying.
“Even if I spent ₹10 crore on PR, I wouldn’t get this much publicity,” she joked, thanking the rumour-mongers for the “free promotion” ahead of her next release.
“Married to the Camera”: Mrunal Sets the Record Straight
While the internet was busy planning a celebrity wedding, Mrunal was focused on her heavy filming schedule. She clarified several points regarding her personal life:
- The Valentine’s Hoax: Rumours claimed the duo would wed on Feb 14. Mrunal joked during promotions that her “haldi and sangeet” were happening and invited everyone to “please eat food,” mocking the absurdity of the claims.
- Family Pressure: Like her character in her upcoming film, she faces the typical “settle down” talk from her parents. However, she noted that her family now understands the “sanyaasi-like” (monk-like) focus required to balance Hindi and South Indian cinema.
- Future Intentions: Mrunal assured fans she is a “vocal person” who loves the feeling of being in love. “When I am in love, I will flaunt it with pride to the whole world,” she promised.
