Mrunal Thakur Says She’s Afraid To Put Pictures On Social Media, Gives Sarcastic Reply To Trolls

With the given rise of social media in our lives, we can almost see what a person does in a day through their posts or stories whatsoever. Netizens rarely hold back from spewing their opinions on anything that doesn’t suit their fancy and most of the time end up being insensitive.

These often make public figures skeptical about posting an out-of-the-box picture. Recently Mrunal Thakur uploaded beach pictures on her Instagram, while most people were amazed by the pictures some didn’t take the post well.

Mrunal Thakur has had a notable evolution on the professional front

Mrunal says she understands the demand of the character. From stints in television to the film industry, which led to hits. Her most recent box-office hit is the Telugu romantic drama, Sita Ramam (2022). Her personal evolution has also been equally remarkable.

She said,

“[Earlier], I said no to a lot of films because they had kissing scenes and romantically-inclined sequences. I don’t regret that decision, but at that time, I used to find it inappropriate. Today, I understand it’s the demand of the character. For instance, if my character is a bad girl, I have to play it convincingly. That’s my job”

This understanding that she has to do things according to the character assigned whether good or evil has made her more assured, both as an artist and a person. But alas, a section of the audience still fails to understand the distinction between an on-screen fictional character and the actor playing it.

While the actor’s fans have showered her with compliments, unfortunately, some netizens resorted to regressive comments. They remarked that they were disappointed to see her in a bikini after she stunned everyone in a saree in Sita Ramam.

Sarcastic response to trolls over her bikini pictures

Thakur chose sarcasm as her weapon to hit back at them. She laughed and said,

“What do I do? I have made my peace with it. Next time, I promise all those people that I will wear a saree and swim. In fact, I was wearing a saree, and it came [undone] while I was swimming. I am so sorry that the saree came [undone]. That should have been my caption”

Such insensitivity on the part of the audience is the pitfall of being a public figure. They also make one realize that the audience can be judgmental and can push an actor back into the box of fears that they have worked hard to overcome.

She said,

“I am so afraid to put up a picture because no matter whether I am covered or not, people will morph it. We are all victims of that. It’s disheartening, but at the same time, I will not stop living my life. People should be a little sensitive because we are doing our job”

Thankfully, Mrunal chooses to march to her own beat.
