Mrunal Thakur stops old comment on Virat Kohli from going viral

On August 7, a media organisation took to their official Instagram account to share a throwback story. The post highlighted an old interview in which Mrunal Thakur had admitted being a big fan of Virat Kohli. During the promotion of her film Jersey (2022), which was based on cricket, the actress had mentioned being ‘madly in love’ with the former Indian skipper who is married to actress Anushka Sharma.
 

As per Free Press Journal, Mrunal had then shared, "I started liking cricket because of my brother, who’s a big fan. I have fond memories of watching a match live at a stadium with him around five years ago. I remember I was wearing a blue jersey and cheering for Team India. Cut to today, I am part of a cricket-based film like Jersey. It is such a happy coincidence." However, this time around when the old comment resurfaced online, the actress took it upon herself to stop it from spreading. Taking to the comment section of the post, she commented, "@instantbollywood STOP IT OK." Her comment has now gone viral online.

When Mrunal Thakur spoke about starring in Jersey

Shahid Kapoor and Mrunal Thakur shared screen space in the 2022 sports drama Jersey. The film debuted in theatres on April 22 and had a decent run at the box office. Talking about her experience of working with the Kabir Singh star, Mrunal said that she was ‘intimidated’ by him.

In a conversation with Humans Of Bombay, Mrunal revealed she was late for her first meeting with Shahid. The actress said, “The day I was supposed to meet Shahid for a script reading, I got the address wrong and ended up late. When I finally met him, I blurted out, ‘Your smile in real life is exactly like it is on screen!'” She further talked about the filming of the movie when she used to forget the dialogue while sharing the screen space with Shahid. “During the shoot of Jersey, there were days when I would forget my lines because I was so overwhelmed being on the sets with Shahid Kapoor. He’s a great co-star, but for the first few days, I was also a little awkward. I tend to get intimidated when working with people, who I have really admired on screen,” concluded Mrunal.

Jersey was written and directed by Gowtam Tinnanuri and was the remake of the 2019 Telugu film by the same name, which saw Nani playing the lead role. Pankaj Kapur was also seen playing a pivotal role in the film alongside Shahid Kapoor and Mrunal Thakur.
