Actress Mrunal Thakur, 34, dismisses dating speculation involving cricketer Yashasvi Jaiswal, 24, after a viral video of the two at the same Mumbai cafe circulated online. The clip, filmed in Bandra West, led to social media speculation that they were romantically involved, according to multiple reports.
Thakur addresses the rumours with a response posted on Instagram, telling users to stop assuming a relationship based solely on being seen at the same location. She questions why people treat such “afwaah” (rumours) as fact and urges attention to more important issues. Outlets also note that the speculation emerges in the context of earlier, unrelated rumours linking her to actor Dhanush, which she previously denied.
Across the coverage, the central point is that Thakur’s statement rejects the dating narrative; there is no confirmation from either party that they are dating. The reports also mention that Thakur is set to appear in “Pooja Meri Jaan,” a courtroom drama starring Huma Qureshi, with its OTT release timing not specified.
