What caught attention was Mrunal’s reaction. She liked the post within minutes, which only intensified the dating buzz.
How the Rumours Started
The gossip first picked up when Mrunal was spotted at the wrap-up party of Tere Ishq Mein, Dhanush’s upcoming film with Aanand L Rai. Later, their candid moment during the Son of Sardaar 2 screening circulated online. Adding to this, fans noticed Mrunal had recently followed Dhanush’s sisters on Instagram, sparking even more talk.
Mrunal Clears the Air
In a recent interview with Only Kollywood, Mrunal dismissed the speculation. She laughed it off, saying Dhanush was just a “good friend.” She also called the rumours “funny.”
She clarified that Dhanush’s appearance at the screening had nothing to do with her. “Dhanush attended the Son of Sardaar 2 event. No one should misunderstand that. It was Ajay Devgn who invited him,” she explained.
Friends Believe They’re Close
Despite the denials, a source claimed otherwise. According to the insider, “Yes, it’s true that they are dating. But it’s too new, and they’ve no plans of making their relationship official before the public or the media. At the same time, they’re unfazed about going out and about and being spotted. Friends are truly rooting for them, as they’re quite similar and compatible when it comes to their values, choices, and thoughts.”
Their Personal Lives
Mrunal was earlier linked to rapper Badshah, though he denied those rumours.
Dhanush, on the other hand, ended his 18-year marriage with Aishwaryaa Rajinikanth. The couple announced their separation in 2022. They filed for divorce in April 2024, and the court granted it in November that year.
