'My personal life doesn’t need public approval'; Mrunal Thakur responds to rumours about her wedding with Dhanush

Rumours about a romantic relationship between Tamil actor Dhanush and actress Mrunal Thakur have been circulating for some time. Gossip pages on social media had even speculated about their wedding date, and some mainstream media outlets also carried such reports. However, neither of the actors had responded to these rumours until now. Mrunal Thakur has now come forward for the first time to completely deny the claims.

The actress addressed the rumours through her official fan page. She said that Dhanush is like a brother to her and that they share only a professional relationship. Mrunal added that she wants to be known for her work and hard effort, not through gossip. She shared her statement with the title, 'Dhanush-Mrunal Rumours Are Fiction; This Is My Truth.'

'I’ve always believed that my work should introduce me, not gossip. Yet today, I find myself watching my name being linked to stories I never wrote, conversations I never had, and decisions I never made.

Lately, a so-called “marriage controversy” has been circulating online. Let me be very clear, Dhanush has always been like a brother to me. What we share is purely mutual respect and professionalism, nothing more than that. Still, I wonder why people are so eager to create stories about a woman’s personal life instead of acknowledging her journey.

I choose silence not because I have something to hide, but because I believe my personal life doesn’t need public approval. I have worked hard to reach where I am today, through auditions, rejections, long nights, and relentless self-belief. Reducing that journey to a rumour is unfair. Social media gives everyone a voice, but it also demands responsibility. A few clicks, likes, and shares may seem harmless, but they shape narratives that affect real people. Let me be clear, there is no truth to these rumours,' Mrunal wrote.
