The digital world is in a frenzy today following the “leak” of a behind-the-scenes (BTS) video from the sets of the highly anticipated Bollywood entertainer, Hai Jawani Toh Ishq Hona Hai. The clip, which has rapidly climbed the trending charts, features lead actress Mrunal Thakur in a surprising new look that has left fans speculating about a major plot twist in the film.
In the viral footage, Mrunal is seen sporting a prominent baby bump, suggesting that her character might be navigating motherhood in this upcoming romantic comedy. Dressed in a soft pink maternity gown and a cozy light blue cardigan, the actress exudes a graceful, maternal glow that is a far cry from her recent high-octane roles.
On-Set Chemistry: Varun Dhawan and Mrunal Thakur
The leaked video doesn’t just showcase Mrunal’s new look; it also gives a glimpse into the dynamic between the lead pair. Varun Dhawan, appearing alongside her in casual navy attire, is seen playing a character who seems deeply protective. As the duo navigates a simulated busy street set, Varun’s attentive body language has already sparked “couple goals” conversations among fans.
Industry insiders suggest that while the movie is primarily a David Dhawan comedy—known for its vibrant energy and slapstick humor—this particular storyline involving a pregnancy adds a layer of “domestic chaos” and emotional depth rarely seen in the director’s typical “No. 1” series formula.
“Whether it’s a dream sequence or a genuine plot point, Mrunal’s look has done exactly what a leak should—it has made the movie the talk of the town.” — Bollywood Trade Analyst.
The David Dhawan Magic Returns
After a brief hiatus from the director’s chair, David Dhawan is returning to his roots with this project.
