Actress Mrunal Thakur has addressed swirling wedding speculation linking her to actor Dhanush—not with words, but through a serene social media post that speaks volumes about her state of mind.
Recent reports claiming the duo would tie the knot in February 2026 have been categorically dismissed by sources close to both actors, even as online chatter continues to gain momentum.
The Instagram Response
On Saturday, Mrunal took to Instagram with a tranquil video showing her aboard a yacht at sunset, hair flowing in the breeze as she gazed contemplatively at the water. Her caption was brief but telling: “Grounded, glowing and unshaken!”
The post, devoid of any direct reference to the marriage rumours, appeared to be the actress’s understated way of addressing the speculation while maintaining her characteristic grace.
Sources Firmly Deny Wedding Plans
A source close to Mrunal dismissed the wedding speculation outright, stating there was “no truth” to the circulating reports. “Mrunal is not getting married next month. This is a rumour that has caught wind for no reason,” the source confirmed.
The February 2026 wedding timeline also appears implausible given Mrunal’s packed professional schedule. “She has a release scheduled for February, and then another Telugu film coming out in March. It doesn’t make sense for her to plan a wedding right in the middle of that,” the source added, pointing to her tightly scheduled film commitments.
Dhanush’s Close Friend Weighs In
A close friend of Dhanush, identified as a director-producer, also addressed the rumours in a statement to Bollywood Hungama. “He hasn’t said anything about his rumored wedding, even though we meet and talk every day. Is he getting married without telling his closest people? Because if I don’t know, then no one else would know,” the friend stated.
The source further revealed Dhanush’s position on remarriage: “When Dhanush and his ex-wife Aishwarya Rajinikanth legally separated, both decided to co-parent their two children, Yatra and Linga. As far as I know, Dhanush is not interested in remarrying. He does not want to bring a stepmother into the house for his sons.”
While acknowledging that the two actors share mutual affection, the friend clarified: “I don’t want to comment on the situation of their relationship; they like each other, but that doesn’t mean they will get married.”
How the Rumours Started
Speculation about Mrunal and Dhanush first surfaced in August 2025 when the actor attended the premiere of her film Son of Sardaar 2. Their warm interaction at the event quickly circulated online, fueling dating rumours.
Prior to this, Mrunal was spotted at the wrap party of Dhanush’s project Tere Ishk Mein, further intensifying interest in their relationship.
At the time, Mrunal had clarified that Dhanush was “a good friend” who had attended the premiere to support her work.
Mrunal’s Team Calls Reports Baseless
In a conversation with Hindustan Times, a representative from Mrunal Thakur’s team labeled the wedding reports as completely baseless, stating that certain individuals were spreading these rumours without any factual foundation.
Dhanush’s Personal History
Dhanush married Aishwarya Rajinikanth, daughter of legendary actor Rajinikanth, in 2004. The couple has two sons, Yatra and Linga. After announcing their separation in 2022, Dhanush and Aishwarya finalized their divorce in 2024, choosing to co-parent their children.
As Mrunal continues to focus on her upcoming film releases and Dhanush maintains his stance on personal matters, the wedding rumours appear to be nothing more than unfounded speculation—leaving fans to appreciate Mrunal’s poised response to the social media storm.
