This actress was denied a speech at an award show due to nepotism, recently said 'I owe my thick thighs'

Mrunal Thakur is a solid performer who has done films like Love Sonia, Sita Ramam, Hi Nanna, Jersey, Batla House, Super 30, and Dhamaka. She has had an incredible career path and already carved a niche for herself. A few years back, at an awards function, while talking about the existence of nepotism in Bollywood and how actors and filmmakers are blamed for it, she had something to say. Thakur said, “It’s not their fault, they are star kids, it is we, as common people, who are so intrigued to know what’s going on in their life.”

On being denied a speech I will give you one simple example - an award night was going on, and an interview session was happening, and I was in the middle of an interview and the media ran behind the star kid. I was awarded as Best Actor Critics, the same as Janhvi being awarded the same night. I wasn’t even handed a speech. Mrunal continued, “I am not saying I am jealous or something. I am saying that it’s not their fault. So stop pointing out nepotism, nepotism.” On her body and being comfortable with it In a recent interview, she said, “There are certain things about your body type which you can’t help. I don’t understand why Indians have this habit of discriminating against naturally curvaceous and voluptuous women. Why are they looked down upon?” She added, “It took Kim Kardashian to make people realize how sexy the curves are on a woman? People should learn to own their bodies. Eat healthy food but not at the cost of putting your health at a bigger risk. I think I am just owning myself. I own my thick thighs and I have no regrets. And If I don’t, you shouldn’t have it either.”
