Mrunal Thakur apologized for past comments on Bipasha Basu after backlash, stressing growth and respect.

Bollywood actress Mrunal Thakur recently grabbed headlines on social media.

An old video of Mrunal has surfaced online in which she was seen making comments on senior actress Bipasha Basu. Mrunal cited that Bipasha is a masculine woman with muscles and describes herself as much better than Bipasha.

Backlash and Apology

After this video, Bipasha’s fans immediately backfired on their opinion and started trolling Mrunal. Now Mrunal herself has come forward regarding this matter and has apologized.

On Wednesday, August 14, Mrunal wrote on her Instagram story, “19-year-old me as a teenager said many silly things. I didn't always understand the weight of my voice or how much words, even in jest, could hurt. But it did, and for that I am deeply sorry.

My intent was never to body-shame anyone. It was playful banter in an interview that went too far. But I understand how it came across, and I truly wish I had chosen my words differently.

With time, I've grown to appreciate that beauty comes in every form, and that's something I truly value now.”

Bipasha Basu’s Response

A day before this, on August 13, Bipasha gave her opinion indirectly. She wrote on Instagram, “STRONG women lift each other.

Get those muscles, beautiful ladies… we should be strong… muscles help you attain good physical and mental health forever! Bust the age-old thought process that women should not look strong or be physically strong.”

Mrunal Thakur’s Upcoming Projects

On the work front, Mrunal was last seen in Son of Sardaar 2 opposite Ajay Devgn. Apart from this, she also has films like Dacoit: A Love Story, Hai Jawani Toh Ishq Hona Hai, and Pooja Meri Jaan.
