The Bollywood actress Mrunal Thakur, in her promotion of her new film, Do Deewane Seher Mein, was frank about one of the most unexpected experiences in her previous relationship which had little to do with love and everything to do with insecurity.

During a recent interview on the channel of YouTuber Raunalq Rajani, Mrunal remembered about her former boyfriend who found it difficult to be confident, when she was shooting with Hrithik Roshan in Super 30.

This actor, who the actor identified as Scandinavian, got uncomfortable when she saw her working so closely with someone who was largely considered to be among the handsomest men in the industry.Instead of discussing his feelings with her, he was about it with his own hands, literally.

He was driven by the urge to be able to catch up by becoming a fitness enthusiast when he lost approximately 15-17 kilograms and gained muscle. Well said, said Mrunal, I never told him to alter any aspect of himself: it was only his own response to jealously and himself-doubt. But the story didn’t end there. Eventually, he started losing track of this exercise regime and regained about 20 kilograms. As Mrunal questioned him about what was happening, he gave an abrupt answer, I am just tired of being caught up.

It was a learning experience, she said, something that highlighted the role of personal insecurities that come to play in relationships.

The actor also responded to the endless rumors about her having a romantic relationship with Dhanush, and joked that the talk of a wedding on a Valentine-Day was no more than an April Fools joke. She emphasized that the speculation itself was absurd, particularly in the light of AI-generated clips and online clickbait flying.
