Actress Mrunal Thakur is over-the-moon as filmmakers are envisioning her in roles that are not only soft and gentle but also layered. The actress also shared her happiness over the “quintessential love stories” coming back on the silver screen. Mrunal said: “I am thrilled that filmmakers are envisioning me in roles that are not only soft and gentle but also layered, allowing me to hone my craft as an actor.
Romance as a genre is so beloved and something over time we have somewhere lost the touch of quintessential love stories, say what the 90s Bollywood films were about.” “It’s amazing to see that not only are such films coming back, but I definitely feel lucky that I’m getting to work with such varied filmmakers and their vision of how romance is played out on the screen.”
Mrunal has worked in successful films such as “Sita Ramam” and “Hi Nanna.” In her latest release, “Family Star”, where she is paired opposite Vijay Deverakonda, the actress shines in the quintessential love story and family drama. “I have enjoyed playing both Sita Mahalakshmi and Yashna, two quintessential romantic heroines but so diversely different and can’t wait more for “Indu” from “Family Star” to cast her magic on the silver screen.”
Meanwhile, Mrunal follows the grandma diet, which she describes as eating what the family has always eaten, with a balance of understanding of portions and nutrition. Talking to IANS, Mrunal shared what her normal life looks like and details about her diet. Mrunal said: “I’m a very family person. They’re always my number one.
Spending quality time at home and having home cooked meals is what I prefer the most.” The actress added: “Of course being an actor isn’t possible, but when I’m out, I eat a balanced meal, I don’t skip anything, but rather balance it and stick to proportions.”
Mrunal said that is what she has been taught. The actress added: “I have a brilliant trainer, who pushes me to do my best work out and always allows me to reward myself with food that I truly do enjoy eating.” “My diet usually is what we call a ‘grandma diet’, it’s essentially eating what your family has always eaten, with a balance of understanding of portions and nutrition,” said Mrunal.
Mrunal recently shared a personal experience while filming “Hi Nanna” and revealed a poignant breakdown that added emotional depth to the film. “While filming the hospital scene in ‘Hi Nanna’ where I discovered that the child is born with health conditions was an emotionally charged experience for me especially when I am not a mother to express that pain. I prayed thinking no mother in the world has to go through this kind of pain,” Mrunal said.
She added: “Witnessing a heartbreaking YouTube video of a mother losing her child to an earthquake shortly before filming intensified my emotions. The profound pain is indescribable in words or emotions that the scene evoked.”
