A viral video of Dhanush and Mrunal Thakur has sparked dating rumors online. Fans can’t stop speculating — is it love or just friendship?
It began with a Video
A small video clip of the recent birthdays of Mrunal Thakur went viral over social media. Dhanush and Mrunal can be found holding hands and whispering to each other closely in a way that many refer to as being intimate. Mrunal can also be observed murmuring something into the ear of Dhanush, which results in a cycle of dating speculations throughout the internet.
To make matters worse, Dhanush was later that day seen at a special screening of Son of Sardaar 2 in Mumbai, a movie where he co-stars with Mrunal and Ajay Devgn. Soon, the fans’ speculations emerged: could that be a coincidence or something more significant?
A History of Crossed Paths
The two have not been seen together for the first time. Mrunal recently (a few weeks back) went to the wrap-up party of an upcoming movie of Dhanush, named Tere Ishq Mein. The party was read by a common acquaintance in the industry, and the two actors were photographed together and appeared to be relaxed and happy.
The many sightings that these two have shared, the first at the wrap party and the second at Mrunal’s birthday, have left more than a few wondering whether their friendship has developed to a deeper level.
Fans Look Like Gumshoes
The video spread rapidly on social media such as Instagram and X (previously Twitter), and fans were zooming in on analysing body language and making conclusions. Other users started to code speculations by such signs as their playlists on Spotify and their presence on social media.
The remarks came fast:
- Something is cooking between the 2 of them!
- The possibility that these are merely colleagues having a party.
- What? They are cute together, and I will not deny it.
Some fans rejoiced at the potential of a new love match in real life as well as reel life, and there are those who said that one must not be in haste to make conclusions without an official confirmation.
Boyfriend/Girlfriend History Of Dhanush
Dhanush has already appeared in the news on his personal life. He had been married to the daughter of a superstar, Rajinikanth, Aishwaryaa Rajinikanth, for more than 18 years, and they formally separated in the first half of 2022. He has since continued with a very quiet life, avoiding dating rumours-until now.
It is quite a recent phenomenon that Dhanush is romantically connected with a co-star or industry fellow after a few years.
Age Gap Debate
Out of the myriad responses on the Internet, some have looked at the issue of the age gap between the two actors. At present, Dhanush is 42 years old, and Mrunal is only 33 years old, a nine-year age difference. This is hardly an unusual age gap in Bollywood, and it has nevertheless become the subject of discussion, particularly by fans indulging in speculation about their off-screen relationship.
Sinsothside Silence
Both Dhanush and Mrunal had been silent on the rumours so far, as far as making a public comment is concerned. It already has the fans and the media speculating as they remain quiet. It might be a legit affair, a budding friendship, or two actors who have a moment in privacy; all the same, the truth is left to the imagination.
Interestingly, has it not been commented upon by even their industry friends, as though keeping a secret, or rather a “monkey in the suitcase” situation. That is just fuel for the speculation.
Where to Next?
Both actors are professionally engaged in very interesting activities.
Dhanush is now ready to star next in Tere Ishq Mein with Kriti Sanon. The film is already causing a buzz and will be released later in the year. It is a reversion into romantic drama by the actor who is noted to deliver emotionally charged acting.
Mrunal, however, is basking in the success of Son of Sardaar 2, which will release today on her birthday. The acting has earned her appreciation, and even in the present day, she remains one of the most demanded actresses in the industry.
They might be spotted together at industry functions with no one raising an eyebrow, but the fact that they are holding hands and talking in low tones has brought them to another level of curiosity in the eyes of the masses.
Do They Hook Up or Not?
With the world of viral videos, social media amplification, a little act can turn to be a news item. The photos of Dhanush and Mrunal with their hands in hands have already done that- unleashing everything ranging from fan-made edits and reels, and even meme content and gossip.
However, with no confirmation, we are faced with that age-old question: are they just friends or is love in the air between them?
Some fans have already shipped the pair as the next it couple in Bollywood, but others are telling us to wait, arguing that we have to be patient until one or both of them comes out and states that they are gay.
Final Thoughts
Dhanush and Mrunal Thakur’s Relationship. One story that is not going away is the one concerning the alleged relationship between Dhanush and Mrunal Thakur. Whether it is the situation of two celebrities being over-monitored during a personal moment or that of the start of a new relationship, time will answer.
At least at this point, the fans are keeping their eyes and ears open, hoping that they will see a new picture, or read a post on social media, or finally hear an official confirmation. We must wait until then, we have a mere few moments on camera, and the imagination of the internet that never sleeps.
Short Response (tldr):
The video of Dhanush and Mrunal Thakur holding hands at her birthday party has become viral, rousing a dating scandalous rumor. There has been little official update on either star, and the fans are killing each other with speculation over recent appearances and encounters. It could be anything, love or plain friendship, but their eventual attraction is becoming the town gossip.
