Actor Mrunal Thakur was recently in the news after a viral clip of her bodyshaming actor Bipasha Basu went viral. Now, looks like she has again left netizens livid by taking a dig on another actress. Now, a video of Mrunal has gone viral on Reddit in which the actress is speaking about rejecting a film, and has also mentioned that the actress, who featured in that movie, is currently not working.
In an earlier interview, Mrunal revealed she had auditioned for the role of Aarfa in Sultan. However, she lost the opportunity. While talking about rejecting movies, in the video, Mrunal says, "So many. I said no, honestly, because I was not ready. Controversies hojayegi. It became a super hit and did help the female actress to reach there. But, then I realised if I would have done that film at that point of time I would have lost myself."
