Actors Dhanush and Mrunal Thakur are the latest celebrities to make people wonder if they are dating. The rumours started when the two were seen together in public several times in the past few weeks, which made people wonder if there was more than just friendship between them.

Dhanush's participation at Mrunal Thakur's birthday party on August 1 was the most recent thing that set people off. Earlier that day, the actor went to a special screening of Son of Sardaar 2 in Mumbai, which stars Mrunal and Ajay Devgn.

People shared the video, and some of the descriptions said things like, "Are Dhanush and Mrunal Thakur dating?" Fans left a lot of comments with different opinions. Some people said there were "unconfirmed signs," while others said it was merely a nice moment. One person said, "I think they are just friends," and another person said, "Really?" I can't believe it. It's interesting that this isn't the first time the two have been seen together.

Mrunal also went to a private party in July that writer-producer Kanika Dhillon threw for Dhanush's next movie, Tere Ishk Mein. The film's staff, including co-star Kriti Sanon, were there. Later, Kanika posted pictures from the night, one of which showed Dhanush and Mrunal smiling together, which made people even more curious about their relationship.

She wrote, "Our hearts are full!" Our OG Raanjhanaa is here, Dhanush! We love you! With friends old and new, enormous smiles and even bigger hearts! "Thankful for the memories." Even though there is a lot of talk about it online, Dhanush and Mrunal Thakur have chosen not to say anything about it and have not confirmed or refuted the rumors.
