Mrunal Thakur's comment on Dhanush’s latest post ignites dating rumours once again

Actor Dhanush recently took to social media to revisit his roots, posting a series of emotional photos from his visit to Banaras — the city where his journey as Kundan in Raanjhanaa began.

On Wednesday, Dhanush shared a series of images from Varanasi, including moments with director Aanand L. Rai, known for Raanjhanaa and Tere Ishq Mein. Reflecting on his journey, he wrote, "A walk through the memory lane where it all started. KUNDAN. A character that refuses to let go of me even after more than a decade. The name Kundan still echoes in the narrow lanes of Banaras as people call out to me, and I still turn and smile. Now walking through the same lanes, sitting in front of the same house, sipping chai from the same tea shop, and walking by the shores of the holy Ganges with the man who gave me Kundan feels like a full circle. Now it’s time for Shankar. Tere Ishk Mein… FROM TOM. Har Har Mahadev.”

The post struck a chord with fans, but what further amplified the buzz was a heartfelt comment from actress Mrunal Thakur. She wrote, “@dhanushkraja Sir… what a beautiful journey! BLOCKBUSTER!! CULT!!! LEGACY!!” followed by a high-five emoji. Dhanush responded with hugs and a white heart.

That simple exchange sent social media into a frenzy, reigniting dating rumours around the two. This isn’t the first time the actors have been linked. Back in August, attention surged when Dhanush attended the premiere of Mrunal’s film Son of Sardaar 2 — a moment captured in a viral video showing them greeting one another. That sparked the first wave of rumours.

Despite the renewed chatter, Mrunal has previously clarified their relationship status — calling Dhanush “just a good friend,” and dismissing romantic speculation as “funny.” She pointed out that Dhanush was invited to the premiere by a mutual friend, giving social media sleuths little to go on.  As of now, neither actor has confirmed or denied the rumours.
