Mrunal Thakur is known to not mince her words. The Sita Ratman actress came across a fake edit featuring her celebrating Diwali with a fan.
This did not sit well with her and she took to the comment section to slam him. However, she later appreciated the social media user for his skills and urged her fans to not troll him.
Mrunal Thakur blasts social media user for making fake edit
On October 31, an Instagram user by the name of Saukhin Malik took to his Instagram account to share a video that seemingly featured Mrunal Thakur. He used a still from The Family Star with Mrunal Thakur and superimposed his own face over Vijay Deverakonda’s to make it look like he was with the actress. He shared the video with the caption, Diwali Photo Editing. Bollywood Actress Photoshoot.”

The actress took to the comment section to write, Bhai kyu jhooti tassali de rahe hain aap apne aap ko? Aapko lagta hain ki aap yeh Jo kar rahe hain yeh cool hain? Ji nahi!” (Why are you giving yourself false reassurance? Do you really think that what you’re doing is cool? No, it’s not!) Her comment quickly went viral online and the original poster deleted his from his post.
Mrunal Thakur appreciates the social media user for his skill
After commenting on the post, Mrunal took to her Instagram stories to issue a further clarification on the matter. She recorded a video of herself explaining that when she first saw the edit, she felt flattered. She quipped that at least this way she could celebrate the festival with someone. However, she then noticed on Saukhin Malik’s account that he had made similar edits for all actresses.
This bothered Mrunal and prompted her to write the comment. She, however, appreciated the use of his skills. The Hi Nanna fame also urged social media users to not troll him and hoped he would put his skills to good use.
