Mrunal Thakur on believing in buri nazar

In a recent interview with Instant Bollywood, Mrunal shares, “There are a lot of things I still need to do with my career, a lot of boxes I haven’t checked. But I will talk about those things once I actually do them, because I don’t want to jinx it by talking about them. I believe the whole nazar thing, ‘boht nazar lagti hai‘ (evil eye jinxes things). One should think before speaking about oneself. You should control how much you are telling the world. Sometimes we end up saying the things we want to do or are doing currently, and we jinx it ourselves.” 

This statement of Mrunal comes amid her dating rumours with Dhanush. As per reports in news 18, a source told, “Yes, it’s true that they are dating. But it’s too new and they’ve no plans of making their relationship official before the public or the media. At the same time, they’re unfazed about going out and about and being spotted. Friends are truly rooting for them as they’re quite similar and compatible when it comes to their values, choices and thoughts."
