Recently, a video of Mrunal Thakur dissing Bipasha Basu went viral online. In the throwback clip, the Son Of Sardaar 2 actress was heard saying that she is ‘far better than Bipasha’, in the context of the latter’s ‘manly muscles’.
Mrunal Thakur Releases Official Statement
Mrunal shared on social media today clarifying her stand, “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.”
Check out the post:
An old interview of Mrunal Thakur with her Kumkum Bhagya co-star Arjit Taneja resurfaced recently, where the actress mentioned that she is ‘far better than Bipasha’, indicating the Dhoom 2 actress’s ‘manly muscles’.
In the video, Mrunal and her co-star Arjit were talking about fitness when the actress asked, “Would you rather marry someone who is more manly with muscles?” When Arjit mentioned that he would like a partner with a toned physique, Mrunal Thakur responded, “Go marry Bipasha then. Listen, I am far better than Bipasha.”
Yesterday Bipasha took to her Instagram story, in what seems like a sassy response to Mrunal Thakur’s remark.
Bipasha Basu’s post read, “Strong women lift each other up. 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!”
Bipasha Basu did not directly take Mrunal Thakur’s name in her post. However, the timing seems a little too real for her reaction to be coincidental, particularly because Bipasha’s post talks about “strong muscles”.
