Bollywood actress Mrunal Thakur is once again in the spotlight — this time not just for her professional achievements, but also for renewed interest in her personal life. Amid ongoing rumours about her alleged wedding to Tamil superstar Dhanush, an old interview of Mrunal has resurfaced, where she candidly spoke about a painful chapter from her past.
In a throwback conversation, the actress revealed why her former boyfriend abruptly walked out of their relationship, citing her “impulsive” nature and career choice as an actress.
Mrunal Thakur On Why Her Ex-Boyfriend Left Her
Mrunal Thakur has never shied away from speaking honestly about heartbreak and emotional growth. In an earlier interview with YouTuber Ranveer Allahbadia, the actress opened up about a failed relationship and recalled how her then-boyfriend chose to walk away.
Mrunal explained that the breakup, though painful, eventually made sense to her, as they were fundamentally different people with contrasting mindsets and values.
Speaking candidly, she shared that her ex-boyfriend came from a deeply orthodox background and struggled to accept both her personality and her profession.
She said:
“He ran away. He was like, ‘You are too impulsive, I can’t deal with this,’ and ‘You’re an actress, I can’t deal with this.’ But I understand where he is coming from — a very orthodox background. And I don’t blame him. I think it’s his upbringing.”
Mrunal added that, in hindsight, the breakup was probably for the best.
“In a way, it’s good that the chapter ended. Because in the future, when we raise our kids, his upbringing would not be the same as my upbringing. The kids would be like, ‘Kya ho raha hai?’”
Her remarks struck a chord with many, highlighting how differences in mindset, upbringing, and career acceptance can deeply impact relationships.
