Speaking with iDiva, the Super 30 star said that she was never comfortable performing any intimate scenes. She added that she “would just get scared” and rejected a film but could not continue doing the same for a long time.
Thakur further stated, “There was a point I had to sit down with my parents and tell them that ‘Papa, I cannot miss a part because sometimes it’s there, it’s not my choice.’”
Mrunal Thakur also said that there were some projects that she could not take due to “a kissing scene involved.” She mentioned that an actor must be prepared for any scene because the situation might demand the same.
Furthermore, Thakur revealed that her parents were not satisfied since she decided to pursue acting. But there was a time when Mrunal’s attendance at college went through a lot of fluctuation and her father advised her to work on the show that she was offered in the beginning.
