Could Mrunal Thakur Be Quietly Dating Shreyas Iyer, a Buzz That Has Everyone Talking?

Bollywood actor Mrunal Thakur has recently been grabbing headlines for her personal life. A few weeks ago, she was rumoured to be dating Dhanush, and their interactions on social media only added fuel to the buzz. Soon after, a Reddit discussion went viral claiming that Mrunal has been dating cricketer Shreyas Iyer for the past few months and that they have been keeping things low-profile.

A day after the post surfaced, Mrunal responded indirectly but delightfully. On Sunday, she shared an Instagram video of her mother giving her a relaxing head massage. In the clip, both mother and daughter are seen laughing at the camera. Along with the video, Mrunal wrote, "They talk, we laugh. P.S. Rumours are free PR and I love free stuff!" Fans immediately connected the caption to the ongoing dating speculation.

According to the viral Reddit post, Shreyas Iyer and Mrunal have been quietly seeing each other for a few months. The post also mentioned that their low-key approach is due to the intense reactions of cricket fans and the fact that Mrunal is "at a peak in her career."

Before this, Mrunal was linked with actor Dhanush. Dating rumours began in August when they were spotted together at the premiere of Son of Sardaar 2. Her decision to follow Dhanush's sisters on Instagram further intensified speculation. More recently, when Dhanush shared photos from his visit to Varanasi for the promotion of Tere Ishk Mein, Mrunal's comment once again sparked headlines.
