Dhanush and Mrunal Thakur reportedly break up.
Dhanush and Mrunal Thakur, who were rumoured to be dating for a long time, have now reportedly parted ways. If a report by Filmfare is to be believed, the two actors have broken up. However, the reason for their breakup is not known as of now.
Rumours of Dhanush and Mrunal Thakur’s romantic relationship were making headlines for a long time now. It all started in August 2025 when the two actors were spotted at the premiere of Mrunal’s film Son Of Sardaar 2. Prior to this, Mrunal’s presence at the wrap party of Dhanush’s film, Tere Ishq Mein, also raised eyebrows. Interestingly, Mrunal also follows Dhanush’s sisters, Dr Karthika Karthik and Vimala Geetha, on Instagram.
Previously, a well-placed source exclusively confirmed News18 Showsha about Dhanush and Mrunal’s dating and said, “Yes, it’s true that they are dating. But it’s too new and they’ve no plans of making their relationship official before the public or the media. At the same time, they’re unfazed about going out and about and being spotted. Friends are truly rooting for them as they’re quite similar and compatible when it comes to their values, choices and thoughts.”
However, Mrunal addressed their dating speculations last year when she clarified that Dhanush is “just a good friend”.
In February this year, rumours of Dhanush and Mrunal Thakur’s wedding plans also made headlines. AI-generated photos of the two dressed in traditional South Indian wedding outfits had also gone viral on social media. Later, a source close to the stars also dismissed wedding speculations and told HT City, “Mrunal is not getting married next month. This is a rumour that has caught wind for no reason.”
