Mrunal Thakur recently shared her experience of working with Shahid Kapoor in the film ‘Jersey’. The actress admitted to being a huge fan of Shahid and revealed that her fan status became quite evident during the filming.
In an interview with Humans of Bombay, Mrunal said, “The day I was supposed to meet Shahid for a script reading, I got the address wrong and ended up late. When I finally met him, I blurted out, ‘Your smile in real life is exactly like it is on screen!'”
The initial awkwardness continued as the actress said she would get intimidated by people she has admired. “During the shoot of Jersey, there were days when I would forget my lines because I was so overwhelmed being on the sets with Shahid Kapoor. He’s a great co-star,” Mrunal said, “but for the first few days, I was also a little awkward. I tend to get intimidated when working with people, who I have really admired on screen.”
In the same interview, the actress also spoke about striking a balance between work and personal life. “It’s important to balance life and career but you’re always trying to figure out how to strike that balance. I know relationships are tough, and that’s why you need to find the right partner who understands the nature of your job.”
When asked if she has plans on freezing her eggs, she said that she has been considering that. The Love Sonia actress also talked about relying on therapy and her loved ones to get her through bad days.
“I was using my work as a bandaid, but the moment I packed up and went home, I was miserable. Now, I talk it out to get it out of my system. I do therapies, it’s important for anyone, especially actors who play different characters. I have people who ground me, my friends and my sister. My cat also makes such a difference in my life.”
Mrunal Thakur was last seen in the Telugu film ‘The Family Star’ opposite .
