Mrunal Thakur And Dhanush Dating: Bollywood is in a tizzy of news- and no, it is not simply owing to the smashing success of Son of Sardaar 2. Mrunal Thakur and Dhanush are the ones in the limelight now as they have been regularly trending not only because of their work, but also perhaps due to some romantic chemistry off the screen going on.
Mrunal’s Heartfelt Note Sparks Buzz
Making her own instagram post, Mrunal released a lovely clip where she herself was sitting in the theatre and watching Son of Sardaar 2 with her fans – an ritual she has followed since Sita Ramam made her household popular in 2022.
In her touching caption, she wrote:
Since the time Sita Ramam, I have been holding on to this little ritual of seeing the movie in the theatres with all of you. And oh, the magic really is in hearing your laughter, your cheers, your love make the halls rebound. There is no greater pay-off of our effort more than to experience your vibes in the moment. Go see SOS 2 in the cinema in case you did not. And I wish it leaves you smiling, laughing and a bit full-hearted.”
However, there are fans who believe that her debrief is not all at the level of the audience because some of them feel that her full-hearted feeling has much to do with Dhanush.
Romance Rumours Take Over the Internet
This happened when Dhanush had landed in Mumbai to attend the mega premiere of Son of Sardaar 2, where he was spotted cozying up, and sharing lovely candid/affectionate moments with Mrunal. And people did not miss their chemistry- and the internet went crazy with guesses.
A few days later, News18 Showsha released a report which quoted sources that stated that the two were indeed dating. Though neither of the actors has officially confirmed it the report states that they have been seen sparing a lot of time together after they met at an event in South India. Mrunal was at the time flying between Mumbai and Hyderabad where Dacoit: A Love Story was in production with Adivi Sesh.
Birthday Bash, Hand-Holding & Whispered Moments
It becomes a much more interesting story when on August 1, Mrunal had her birthday. Dhanush did not only appear in the party on the leaked video; he was embracing her and they were having a sweet, intimate moment in the video. The clip became viral in hours and fans could not restrain themselves discussing what it means.
To pour more oil on the flame, earlier on the same day, in fact a few hours ago Dhanush had been seen landing in Mumbai to do a special screening of Son of Sardaar 2. An event video recorded Mrunal leaning to whisper in the ear of Dhanush and this raised more curiosity.
There was a fan captioned, in one of the images sharing the video: “Are Dhanush and Mrunal Thakur dating?” Immediately, society went in two directions through the social media:
“Totally shipping this!”
“They’re just friends, come on.”
“OMG, is this for real?”
Not Their First Public Appearance Together
Not the very first time, we see them united. On July 3, writer-producer Kanika Dhillon threw a post-production launch party of the film Tere Ishk Mein, of which Dhanush was the lead star; the two attended that party. Mrunal and Dhanush appear in the photos all smiling as they pose with the team.
Kanika even captioned the post:
“Our hearts are full! Our OG Raanjhanaa in the house Dhanush – we love you! With friends old and new – big smiles, bigger hearts! Grateful for the memories.”
Family Connections? Mrunal Reportedly Met Dhanush’s Sisters
To take it a notch higher, E times has written that Mrunal has recently followed Dhanush sister Dr. Karthika Karthik and Vimala Geetha on Instagram to which they followed her back. This occurred at the time when the buzz of dating was beginning.

It is possible indication, according to Pinkvilla, to the fact that Dhanush has already brought Mrunal to the family. Although it has not been confirmed, the time when she posted her activity on Instagram made a lot of eyebrows.
“They’re Compatible and Friends Are Rooting for Them” – Insider Report
A source told News18 Showsha:
“Yes, it is true they are dating. Yet it is quite a young start-up and they do not hurry up to be public. They even do not bother hiding it, they are perfectly happy to be seen together. Friends believe that their suitability is on point since their values and decisions actually match.”
The two have even been said to have a common Spotify playlist with one Reddit user posting that the two share a playlist, as well as a source evidently stating that the two looked very close to one another at the premiere of Kajols film Maa back in June.
Both Stars Maintain Silence
There has been no reaction by Mrunal or Dhanush although there has been a buzz about it. Mrunal has preferred to keep her love life secret. With the lead actor Dhanush, the viewers know that he was once a married man to Aishwaryaa Rajinikanth and spent a total of 18 years together with her before they split in 2022. They have two sons namely Yatra and Linga.
So… Are Bollywood’s next big couple keeping things low-key for now? Or is it all just coincidence?
Whatever the truth may be, fans are totally invested in the idea of Dhanush and Mrunal as a real-life duo. With their on-screen charm and off-screen chemistry, this could be a love story worth watching.
