The ‘Batla House’ actress told PinkVilla, “First, it happened to me at an Awards ceremony. I was getting the Critics Best Actress award for my film and after I went on stage, I was told, 'Ma'am, that's the exit!' Whereas at the same ceremony, when a star kid went up, they literally were shoving the mic in her face." Elaborating her point, she further raised the point how media treats people differently. Mrunal added, “I was at this event giving interview bytes and suddenly, the entire media ran away because a star kid arrived.
