Mrunal Thakur reveals how the media ran after a starkid in the middle of her interview: 'I was being awarded the same night as Janhvi Kapoor and...'

In a throwback interview, actress Mrunal Thakur revealed how the media ran after a star kid in the middle of her interview. She was quoted saying, ‘I’ll give you one simple example, Awards night chal rahi thi, and the interview session was happening. I’m in the middle of an interview and the media ran behind the star kid. Now, tell me- I have been awarded as the best actor or critic as same as Janhvi being awarded the same night.’

The actress added, ‘I was not even handed the speech. I’m not saying that I’m jealous or something, I’m saying that it’s not their fault, stop pointing nepotism. What I feel it also depends on the audience and the media especially.’

Her views on nepotism

“Let’s begin with media, example, we don’t have Ananya and Janhvi unfortunately, but trust me, bahut sarein, ye point bhi miss hogaya nepotism ka. Nepotism got missed, but I have to say something ki nepotism is not because… unka koi fault nahi hai yaar, they are star kids you know. It’s we as common people, who are so intrigued to know ki unke life mein kya chal raha hai.”

Mrunal Thakur also once opened up about the idea of freezing eggs, love and relationships, and striking the balance between work and personal life. While speaking to Humans of Bombay, she said, “It’s important to balance life and career but you’re always trying to figure out how to strike that balance. I know relationships are tough, and that’s why you need to find the right partner who understands the nature of your job.”
