Recently, Mrunal Thakur was in the news again due to a rumor. Mrunal’s name has been linked to many celebrities, but the situation took a turn when people started linking her with Indian cricketer Yashasvi Jaiswal. Rumors of their dating surfaced after a video went viral at a cafe in Mumbai’s Bandra West. After they were seen leaving the cafe, rumors started flying on social media. Many people claimed that something was going on between the two. However, Mrunal himself has put a complete stop to these rumors, clarifying that nothing is going on between him and Yashasvi.

After linking her name with Yashasvi Jaiswal, Mrunal wrote, “Bhai, calm down. Show me where we were together. You are so educated, how do you believe such rumours? What is not happening in this country? Learn something from Jainji and make videos on real issues. It will get more views.” The actress’s response made it clear that she and the cricketer are not dating.

It is worth noting that Mrunal Thakur’s name has also been linked to Dhanush. Rumors of an affair between the two started when they were seen having a heated conversation at the premiere of “Son of Sardaar 2” in August 2025. Mrunal eventually denied these claims and said that she did not know where these rumors were coming from. Mrunal has repeatedly clarified that her relationship with Dhanush is professional. The actress has also been linked to cricketer Shreyas Iyer and rapper Badshah in the past.

Unlike other names, Mrunal Thakur and writer Sharad Chandra Tripathi’s relationship wasn’t just aired on the internet. Mrunal once dated Sharad, and they participated in “Nach Baliye 7” together. During this time, the two discussed their relationship and hoped that their families would accept them. However, the relationship ultimately didn’t last long, and they parted ways.

Recently, Mrunal was in the news for one of her posts. In this post, she gave a stern warning to those who tamper with her photos and voice and upload her deepfake videos on social media. The actress made it clear that she will not tolerate any misuse of her photos, videos or voice and will take legal action against those who do so.
