Mrunal Thakur is one such trail-brazing actress of her generation, who has consistently proven her terrific acting chops with each successive performance. She started her journey in showbiz through television, and achieved household recognition in no time. Thereafter, she made her Bollywood debut opposite Hrithik Roshan in the film, Super 30. Ever since, there has been no turning back for her, and she has established herself as a notable actor pan-India.
Previously, in one of her interviews with Galatta Plus, Mrunal Thakur had opened up about how she tries to maintain a sense of minimalism, when it comes to her sartorial picks. The actress claimed that most of her outfits which she wears for film screenings and public appearances are sourced from third party. But when it comes to her own purchases, she spends a maximum of Rs. 2000 for them. In her words:
“Because whatever is expensive, you cannot wear them over and over again. You are not going to wear them again. These are not my clothes, I have just sourced them. The maximum money I have spent on a top is Rs 2000. That also I feel is too much.”

Further in the same interaction, Mrunal had even claimed that she believes spending more for the sake of brand name is simply waste of money.

Furthermore, she added how she keeps a balance in her wardrobe by having a good match of only one or two classic pieces, and rest of it being normal items.

Well, it wouldn’t be wrong to remark how a strong section of netizens disbelieved her statement and concluded that Mrunal only gave such a response, so as to appear relatable to the public eye. Moreover, some others felt that the diva always tries to play a victim card and displays a ‘pick me’ attitude.
In a previous interview with The Indian Express, Mrunal Thakur talked about instances of body-shaming that she has faced in her career. She revealed how many filmmakers frequently ask her to lose a few kilos, so that she could look sexy and pull off the perfect feminine avatar on-screen. Revealing the response she gives back on such situations, Mrunal shared:
“I have immense faith in my team because they transform me. As an actor, it is important for me to be neutral, because then all the filmmakers around me can mould me into that character. What is it that people want to see? I did a song and people were like don’t do this, you have to lose weight. I said, listen, I have thick thighs and I own them, and I am so comfortable. If I am not uncomfortable, then why are you uncomfortable?”
