The initial awkwardness persisted. “During the shoot of Jersey, there were moments when I would forget my lines because I was so overwhelmed being on set with Shahid Kapoor. “

In the same coversation, Thakur shared that even though people pretend that everything is right on the internet, it is actually not in real life. She shared that there were days when she didn’t want to wake up or get out of bed, but she did.
The actress noticed that a lot of individuals on social media appear to be on vacation, showcasing their finest photos. However, she pondered whether this display truly reflects their enjoyment of the moment. The actress confessed that she doesn’t appear at her best while eating or lounging at the beach, often finding herself covered in sand and mud. Further in the interview, Thakur spoke about being trolled for her pear-shaped body.
The actress shared, “I’m going to change that beauty standard by flaunting my curves. Earlier I was so afraid of wearing anything body-hugging. But now, I’m like, ‘Body-hugging? Bring it on. And crop tops? Bring it on. Why do we need Kardashians to set beauty standards? Every Indian woman walking on the streets, they’re so curvaceous, they’re so beautiful.”
Mrunal will be next seen in Pooja Meri Jaan.
