Mrunal Thakur reveals she was inspired by Kareena Kapoor's character from 'Jab We Met'

Mrunal Thakur, over the years, has stepped into multiple empowering on-screen characters. Whether showcasing emotional or intellectual prowess, Mrunal has mirrored different facets of life and has also displayed shades as a dedicated performer.

For someone who has never restricted herself to exploring emotions and life on-screen, Mrunal draws real-life inspiration from Kareena Kapoor Khan’s iconic role, Geet from Jab We Met.

Earlier, the Sita Ramam actress opened up about the life lessons she gained from the Imtiaz Ali film, and revealed being inspired by Geet’s solo train journey from Mumbai to Bhatinda. It motivated Mrunal to commute solo from Lokmanya Tilak in Mumbai to Kerala. The actress described the 24-hour trip as safe and enriching.

In addition to this, Mrunal also shared that she learned to prioritise self-love, happiness, make decisions for herself and not blame others for it - after being empowered by Geet’s take on life and joy. She added that the screen character gave her rich lessons that left a lasting impression on her.

Mrunal Thakur has found herself all across headlines for the wrong reasons this time. And the stint only highlights the aim of trolls - targeting an outsider without digging deep into the meaning behind the words. This is not the first time that an actor has found itself caught in the public scrutiny, and it certainly won’t be the last time.

Some of her recent interviews that she gave back in the day have gone viral on social media and netizens have been sharing all sorts of reactions off late.
