Mrunal Thakur’s Reply Goes Viral After Being Slammed By Deepika Padukone’s Fans for Liking Negative Posts Targeting the ‘Piku’ Star

Mrunal Thakur, a prominent Bollywood actress who started her career in television and has made a mark in the Indian film industry, recently faced backlash for her alleged negative sentiments towards fellow actress Deepika Padukone. Although Mrunal is usually not involved in controversies, she was accused of disliking Deepika Padukone, leading to significant online criticism.

Accusations Against Mrunal Thakur

The controversy resurfaced when a netizen shared old screenshots suggesting Mrunal harbored ill feelings towards Deepika. These screenshots included instances where Mrunal liked posts critical of Deepika. One notable post, shared by Instagram user Freddy Birdy, made a sexist remark about the tiny clothes worn during the promotions of “Gehraiyaan.” The post read, “Newton’s Law of Bollywood. The clothes will get tinier as the Gehraiyaan release date approaches,” which Mrunal had liked. The caption read:

Necklines and hemlines are Gehraiyaan.”

This led to the belief that Mrunal disapproved of Deepika.

In response to the backlash, including criticism from Deepika’s fans, Mrunal took to social media to clarify her stance. On platform X, she posted a tweet addressing the issue, expressing her admiration for Deepika and condemning the spread of hate. She wrote:

“Bhai, you are so mentally sick. I wish I could get you some flowers and slam it on your face. Thank you for spreading hate! Just to let you know, I admire Deepika. Having said that, I feel you must get yourself a life rather than sitting at home and spreading hate. Spread love!”

Netizens’ Reactions

The incident sparked a range of reactions from netizens. Some defended Mrunal’s right to dislike another actress, while others criticized the notion of actresses publicly disparaging one another. Comments ranged from supportive remarks about Mrunal’s freedom of opinion to critiques of her actions.
