Actress Mrunal Thakur has responded to social media speculation linking her romantically with Indian cricketer Yashasvi Jaiswal.
The rumours began after Mrunal and Jaiswal were reportedly seen leaving the same café in Mumbai’s Bandra West. A video of the two leaving the location circulated widely online, prompting users to speculate about a possible relationship.
Mrunal subsequently addressed the speculation in the comments section of a video featuring Jaiswal. In her response, she questioned why people were treating an unverified social media claim as fact and suggested that there were more meaningful issues deserving public attention.
Several of Mrunal’s followers also came to her defence, with some pointing out that two people being at the same restaurant on the same day does not establish that they are dating.
This is not the first time Mrunal has been the subject of relationship speculation. In 2025, reports linked her with actor Dhanush, with some reports even claiming that the two could marry in 2026. Both the actors and people close to them subsequently rejected those reports.
Yashasvi Jaiswal is among the prominent young batters in Indian cricket. He made his international debut in 2023 and immediately attracted attention with a century against the West Indies.
