Rumours are Free PR: Mrunal Thakur Hilariously Shuts Down Shreyas Iyer Dating Buzz

The Newest Cricket-Bollywood Wedlock Gossip

Bollywood and cricket couples have always been the most discussed objects of mass media and the recent couple of actresses Mrunal Thakur and star cricketer Shreyas Iyer have made everyone speculate about them. The rumor, spread by the online resources, implied a secret, month-long, and secret romance. The reports asserted that the two celebrities, who were in the midst of their high-pressure careers, were deliberately making their relationship a secret, so that they could have their private time together as opposed to making appearances before the media.

This is soon after Mrunal Thakur was also associated with actor Dhanush, after their interactions were made public and the two were engaging in social media jesting. To an actress who has received huge applause due to her acting in a variety of roles, Mrunal Thakur frequently has her personal life scrutinized, an aspect that the actress chose to handle with her usual flair and sense of humour.

The Viral Response of Mrunal Thakur

Mrunal Thakur did not take the more serious approach and release a statement, but instead took a much more relatable and entertaining approach to address the mounting dating rumours. Posting it on her Instagram Stories, the actress made an open video recording that immediately went viral.

The video showed Mrunal Thakur getting a massage on the head by her mother. The two are observed laughing at the camera, which is a clear indication that the outside home noise does not interfere with their peace. The headline to her denial was the comic clip itself and immediately the caption under the lighthearted clip:

“They talk and we laugh. P.S. PR is free and I like free stuff!

This instigative posting enabled Mrunal Thakur to do so gracefully to put out the raving rumors about both Shreyas Iyer and Dhanush. She showed a mature, confident, and clever approach in handling her public image even though she was firm in prioritizing her privacy by framing the never-ending media speculation as a kind of free PR.
