Dhanush and Mrunal Thakur are sparking serious romance rumours — and fans can’t stop talking about it. Whispers of the duo dating began when the Raanjhanaa actor unexpectedly showed up at the Son of Sardaar 2 event, which Mrunal is a part of, followed by his appearance at her birthday bash. A video of the two holding hands only added more fuel to the fire, leaving fans convinced that this isn’t just friendship anymore.

Now, a fresh update has added to the speculation — Mrunal has followed Dhanush’s sisters on Instagram.

As per a report by Etimes, Mrunal recently followed Dhanush’s elder sisters — Dr. Karthika Karthik and Vimala Geetha — on Instagram. Interestingly, both of them have also followed the actress back.

The gesture has fans believing that Mrunal has already been introduced to the Atrangi Re actor’s family. While neither Dhanush nor Mrunal has confirmed the dating rumours, a source quoted by Showsha revealed, “Yes, it’s true that they are dating.”

The insider added that the couple is keeping things private for now. “It’s still early and they aren’t planning to make it official yet. But they’re also not hiding anything. Their friends are happy for them — they’re alike in many ways, from values to lifestyle and outlook,” said the source.

When did Mrunal and Dhanush first connect?

After the blockbuster success of Sita Ramam, Mrunal gained a strong foothold in the South. Despite juggling projects between Mumbai and Hyderabad, she reportedly met Dhanush at a southern industry event — and that’s where the bond began.

In case you missed it, Dhanush was earlier married to filmmaker Aishwarya Rajinikanth for 18 years before the two parted ways in 2022.
