Actor Mrunal Thakur, who is basking in the success of her films like Sita Ramam, Hi Nanna and The Family Star, recently opened up about how she “kept missing on films” because her parents disapproved of her doing intimate scenes on screen. She said that eventually, she had to talk to her parents about it so she could explore more opportunities.
“I was not really comfortable doing scenes which were intimate, like romantically,” Mrunal told iDiva in an interview. She shared that there came a point when she had to talk to her parents and explain the demands of her job. She said, “I would just get scared, I’d just say no to a film, but how long could I say no? There was a point I had to sit down with my parents and tell them that ‘Papa, I cannot miss a part because sometimes it’s there, it’s not my choice’.” She also implied that she wasn’t too comfortable doing such scenes either.
Mrunal also shared that she ultimately decided that she cannot reject a film because it required her to kiss on screen and that she had to do what the script required. “As much as I wanted to do a film, I had to drop because there was a kissing scene involved. As an actor you need to be ready because sometimes that’s the demand (of the scene). If you are not comfortable, you can tell, you can talk about it but I kept missing on films because of that,” she said.
Mrunal was last seen in Vijay Deverakonda’s The Family Star, she’ll next be seen in Navjot Gulati’s directorial Pooja Meri Jaan with Huma Qureshi.
