MRUNAL THAKUR MADE THE WORLD TAKE NOTICE OF HER IN THE TELUGU FILM SITA RAMAM. TANISHA BHATTACHARYA MEETS WITH THE VERSATILE ACTRESS AND COMES AWAY IMPRESSED

Mrunal Thakur made quite the splash this year with her performance in the Telugu film Sita Ramam, which proved to be a panIndia hit. Not only was her chemistry with Dulqer Salmaan muchappreciated, but her strong screen presence, and surreal beauty were also talked about. Sita Ramam has no doubt upped her popularity over social media. Some people even compared her to the late Madhubala . Mrunal beams, "I was really happy when people saw me as Madhubala.

And I would say, if there is anything made in the future, which is in a way, related to Madhubala, I would love to feature in it. I would love to be a part of it, even if it is a song performance, a play or a movie, or a single scene, I would love to work on it." Despite all the adulation she's been getting over the internet, Mrunal confesses she isn't social media savvy. While the world may prefer WhatsApp forwards and emojis as expressions of emotions, she prefers hand-written letters just for the sheer magic they hold. "We do sometimes need to take some effort and share our responses or share our love on a handwritten note. I'm waiting for that one love letter," she giggles.

The talk veers to her talented co-star Dulquer Salmaan. Mrunal is all smiles as she talks about him. She mentions that even though Dulquer was a little sceptical about featuring in a romantic film at first, he was committed once he signed on the dotted line. "He's a phenomenal actor. He's a wonderful human being, and I can't wait to share screen space with him again. So filmmakers out there if you think there's a great script for Dulquer and me, please cast us together," she chuckles.

Sita is one of the finest characters she has played on screen. She confesses that the biggest challenge for her as an actor was to do justice to the director's vision. She feels satisfied that she was able to do it.
