Mrunal Thakur's reaction on viral post about Virat Kohli


Fans commented on the now-deleted post, and Mrunal herself took to the comments section, tagging the portal and writing, “STOP IT OKAY.” Her original statement was made back in 2022 during the promotion of her cricket-themed sports film 'Jersey' with Shahid Kapoor. In a conversation with ETimes, Mrunal shared that she began liking cricket because of her brother and that she had been 'madly in love' with Virat Kohli.


Fans on Reddit were divided about the tone of her comment. One user wrote, “Why does her comment give the vibe that the information is true but she’s kinda embarrassed?” Another commented, “Is it me or does that comment sound sarcastic? Like when our friends tease us for our crush, we usually say ‘stop it ok.’”
