TV turned film actress Mrunal Thakur is an avid social media user and enjoys a massive fan following. The actress has impressed millions with her outstanding acting skills and high-end fashion choices. Recently, she revealed that she had to gather a lot of courage to post a picture in a bikini on social media. In a conversation with a news portal, the actress said, 'I feel India has not entirely normalised (different types of) bodies. We still think if you are going to a beach you have to have a perfect body. But, that’s not how I want to inspire girls out there. It’s okay to be bloated and to have celluloid. You need to be fit (from) within and not necessarily have six-pack abs. I need to gather the courage to post a picture in the bikini, with the body type I have at the time and I am comfortable with it. I am just gearing up.' Notably, a few days back only, a troll tried to body-shame her by asking her to 'reduce the lower part' of her body when she dropped a video of her intense workout session. However, instead of getting offended, Mrunal did not lose her calm and hit back at the troll gracefully with a befitting reply. She wrote, 'Some pay for it, some have it naturally all we gotta do is flaunt buddy! You flaunt yours too'. Mrunal dropped the screenshot of these negative comments on her Instagram stories, and along with that, penned a note saying, 'Do you have any idea how hard I work to be fit? It’s my body type, and I can’t really do anything. Soo, ALL I gotta do is FLAUNT. BUTT I’m Happy.' Meanwhile, on the work front, Mrunal Thakur is gearing up for the release of her upcoming film ‘Jersey’ with Shahid Kapoor. The film is an official Hindi adaptation of the Telugu film of the same name. For more news and updates, stay tuned to ETimes.
