Mrunal Thakur slams viral Instagram post resharing her old comment about being ‘in love’ with Virat Kohli.
Mrunal Thakur has reacted to her past statement that she once had a major crush on Indian cricketer Virat Kohli. The drama unfolded when a past statement of hers resurfaced on the Instant Bollywood Instagram page, where she had mentioned being “madly in love” with the cricket superstar. The post, which featured a picture of Mrunal alongside a cutout of Kohli, was reshared on Reddit, catching the attention of fans.
Not one to stay silent, Mrunal quickly responded, writing “STOP IT OK” in reaction to the post, making it clear she wasn’t amused by the resurfacing of old comments. This simple, yet firm reply sparked debate among fans, with some interpreting her tone as sarcastic or playful. One user noted, “Why her comment is giving the vibe that the information is true but she’s kinda embarrassed lol.” Another added, “Is it me or that comment sounds sarcastic! As in when our friends tease us for our crush we usually say ‘stop it ok.’”
The original statement came while Mrunal was promoting her film Jersey, a cricket-themed drama. She had said, “There was a time when I was madly in love with Virat Kohli. I started liking cricket because of my brother who’s a big fan. I have fond memories of watching a match live at a stadium with him around five years ago. I remember I was wearing a blue jersey and cheering for team India. Cut to today, I am part of a cricket-based film like Jersey. It is such a happy coincidence.”
Recently, Mrunal was seen in Family Star with Vijay Deverakonda, which received a lukewarm response. She also made a cameo in Kalki 2898 AD alongside big names like Kamal Haasan and Amitabh Bachchan. Mrunal is currently filming Son of Sardaar 2 and has other exciting projects lined up, including Pooja Meri Jaan and a Sanjay Leela Bhansali production.
