Mrunal Thakur drops BTS pics from Sita Raman amid backlash over alleged mean comment about Anushka Sharma: 'Some memories...'

Mrunal Thakur is back in the spotlight, not just for her acting but also for a controversial interview clip that recently resurfaced online. Amid the debate, the actress chose to celebrate happier memories, sharing behind-the-scenes glimpses from her Telugu debut Sita Ramam, reminding fans of the charm and elegance that made her character unforgettable.

Iconic look recreated on set

In the photos, Mrunal appears in her iconic Sita Mahalakshmi look, wearing a red handloom saree complemented by delicate traditional jewelry. The ensemble is elegant and understated, capturing the timeless charm that made her character so beloved. One candid shot shows her sitting in a serene courtyard, lost in thought, while another captures her sharing a soft smile on set with director Hanu Raghavapudi. The actress captioned the post, 'Some memories are timeless.'

Comments from past interview spark debate

While fans celebrated her nostalgic post, a part of the internet revisited a resurfaced interview clip in which Mrunal discussed turning down major projects early in her career. She explained that she wasn’t ready at the time, saying that taking on those films could have led to controversies and that, although the projects became hits and boosted the female leads’ careers, she felt doing them then might have caused her to lose herself.



She added that even if others around her aren’t currently working, her own consistent efforts are a victory. She emphasized that she doesn’t seek instant gratification, recognition, or fame, because anything that comes too quickly tends to fade just as fast.

Speculation about Anushka Sharma remark

Netizens speculated that her remarks were directed at Anushka Sharma, recalling Salman Khan’s revelation on Bigg Boss that Mrunal was initially considered the lead for Sultan before Anushka joined the project. The comments sparked mixed reactions, with some criticizing her for taking indirect jabs, while others defended her right to share her perspective.

Meanwhile, Sita Ramam, starring Dulquer Salmaan, Mrunal Thakur, and Rashmika Mandanna, continues to captivate audiences even three years after its release. Set against the 1964 war, the period romance tells the poignant tale of a soldier (Dulquer) and the mysterious woman who sends him letters.
