Mrunal Thakur, an actress, talked freely about a former love and breakup during an interview to promote her new Hindi movie Da Deewane Shahar Mein. The actress revealed that her ex-boyfriend broke up with her because he didn't like her demeanour or how she was handling her job.

Mrunal's ex-boyfriend told her that he couldn't stay with her because he thought she was too strong-willed and pushy. In an article published in Deccan Chronicle, she added that he was also dissatisfied with her decision to become an actress, and the fact that he didn't support her led to the end of their relationship.

Mrunal said that after the breakup, she didn't feel bad or sad and didn't think about it too much. The actor from Sita Ramam claimed that it would have been much harder to stay in that kind of relationship for a long time.

Mrunal believes that relationships that don't work out can have a bigger impact on the future. She noted that disparities in beliefs and ways of thinking that aren't worked out can have an effect on future generations.

She said that it can be hard and stressful for kids to grow up in a house where their parents have different beliefs. The actress said that self-respect, being compatible, and helping one other are important in both relationships and life in general.

Mrunal has generally kept her personal life to herself, but she is doing well right now because of the success of movies like Hi Nanna and Dacoit. In the past, she has been linked to cricketer Shreyas Iyer and actor Dhanush, but she has never mentioned anything about being in a relationship with either of them. As per the latest reports, she will next be seen doing a special number in Ram Charan and Jhanvi Kapoor’s Peddi. Official confirmation awaited.
