Posting happy pictures on social media is quite normal for all, even with a heart full of sorrow. However, it rarely happens that people choose to post a picture with tears in their eyes; it may be next to impossible for people now. But famous actress Mrunal Thakur broke all the records and codes of social media when she took to her IG handle to share a crying picture of herself. Just a few days ago, the diva posted an Instagram story where she was seen crying. Mrunal's selfie with swollen eyes worried her fans, and the story went massively viral. Recently, the Sita Ramam actress opened up about her intention behind posting the picture.
In an interview with the Bombay Times, Mrunal Thakur talked about the post where she was seen with teary eyes. The actress shared that time was adamant for her, and during that time, she was going through emotional turmoil professionally and personally. The actress also stated that it took a lot of courage to post the photo, and she didn't think of posting it instantly. However, Mrunal shared that she took the photo and saved it on her phone to remind herself that she would never want to feel this miserable again. However, even if she ever feels like she could remind herself that she overcame this before and could do it again. Mrunal's words can be read as:
"We all go through a lot of problems in life. That picture was taken a few days back when I had an emotional turmoil and was going through a tough phase professionally and personally. I didn’t take that photo, thinking I would post it later. I gathered the courage to take that picture and save it on my phone to remind myself that I didn’t want to feel this miserable in the future. That was a memory to tell myself that if I could overcome my problems before, I could do it again. That was the intention behind taking that picture."

I want people to know that it’s okay to feel vulnerableand it’s important to listen to your inner voice amidst all the chaos, clutter, and aspirational posts. There is no harm in voicing your thoughts. Your gut instinct never lies to you. Many of us have stopped listening to ourselves."

"There are people who need help as far as mental health is concerned. It’s a sensitive topic and can be misinterpreted. That is a separate conversation altogether. Depression is a big word that needs a deeper understanding and shouldn’t be used casually. My intention was to normalize feeling low. We tend to bury these feelings deep inside and don’t want to hear or talk about them. That needs to change. Accepting that you aren’t feeling great can only help you resolve it. I want to tell the world that I am not afraid to show or say what I feel, and you shouldn’t either."
In the same interview, the Super 30 actress shared that it is normal to go through the highs and lows in life, and one must overcome life's challenges. She shared that even though she had to go through a challenging phase, it took her ten years to make a hit film like Sita Raman, and she would not have come this far if she had quit. Mrunal Thakur stated:
"You go through highs and lows, and it’s normal. You must overcome the challenges. For instance, you can’t switch careers if you are going through a tough phase. It took me 10 years to get a film like Sita Ramam. If I had quit, I don’t know what I would be doing today."
