In a world where Bollywood’s “Greek God” Hrithik Roshan sets high standards for fitness and looks, it turns out the pressure isn’t just felt by aspiring actors. Actress Mrunal Thakur recently shared a candid and humorous anecdote about how her Super 30 co-star indirectly sparked a massive physical transformation in her former partner.
During an appearance on Raunaq Rajani’s YouTube channel, the Sita Ramam star opened up about the complexities of dating while working in the film industry. She recalled a time during the filming of the 2019 hit Super 30 when her then-boyfriend, who is Scandinavian, began feeling the heat of her professional environment.
“I’m Tired of Catching Up”
Mrunal revealed that her partner at the time became increasingly self-conscious about her working alongside some of the industry’s most attractive men, particularly Hrithik Roshan. In a bid to “match up,” he underwent a rigorous fitness regime.
“So this guy, who was a Scandinavian, he thought that I was hanging around and shooting with a lot of men who were good-looking, like Hrithik Roshan,” Mrunal shared. “So he started working out, lost like 15 to 17 kgs, and he got muscles.”
However, the actress noted that the transformation was short-lived. Once the initial surge of insecurity faded, her partner swung to the other extreme, stopping his workouts entirely and eventually gaining 20kg. When a puzzled Mrunal asked him about the sudden change, his response was a blunt reality check on the pressures of dating a star: “I’m just tired of catching up.”
Navigating Industry Insecurities
Mrunal clarified that she never pressured her partner to change his appearance and emphasized that the insecurity was entirely internal. The story highlights the unique challenges faced by partners of actors who find themselves constantly comparing their reality to the “aspirational” world of cinema.
The actress, who has been consistently praised for her grounded personality, mentioned that she prefers addressing concerns directly in a relationship rather than letting them fester. Despite the effort, she admitted that the relationship eventually ended because they were in different headspaces regarding her career and the nature of the industry.
Current Buzz and Career Front
The revelation comes at a time when Mrunal is already making headlines due to persistent dating rumors involving South Indian superstar Dhanush. While social media has been rife with speculation following several public appearances together, Mrunal has remained firm, urging fans not to believe everything they see on the internet and promising that she will be the one to announce any major life updates.
As she promotes her upcoming film Do Deewane Seher Mein, Mrunal continues to win over fans with her refreshing honesty—proving that even for a Bollywood star, navigating the “Hrithik Roshan effect” in real life is no easy task. To know such latest updates tuned tellyboosters.com Thank you!
