The entertainment industry is buzzing with speculation. Reports suggest that actor Dhanush and Bollywood star Mrunal Thakur may tie the knot on Valentine’s Day this year. According to several sources, the wedding is expected to be a private affair, attended only by close family members and a handful of friends.
The news of their alleged marriage has quickly spread across social media platforms. Fans and media outlets are eager to know if the reports hold any truth. However, both Dhanush and Mrunal have remained silent. Neither actor has confirmed nor denied the rumours, which has only added to the curiosity surrounding their relationship.
Mrunal’s Past Headlines
Interestingly, this is not the first time Mrunal Thakur’s personal life has made headlines. In the past, she was linked to her Kumkum Bhagya co-star Arjit Taneja. Although she never confirmed the relationship, the speculation kept her in the spotlight. Now, her name is once again trending, this time alongside Dhanush.
Dhanush’s Previous Marriage
Before these rumours, Dhanush was married to Aishwaryaa Rajinikanth, the elder daughter of superstar Rajinikanth and playback singer Latha Rajinikanth. The couple shared 18 years of marriage and are parents to two sons, Yatra and Linga. In 2022, they announced their separation through a heartfelt statement on social media. Later, in 2024, they legally finalized their divorce. Despite parting ways, they continue to co-parent their children.
Aishwaryaa is not only known as Rajinikanth’s daughter but also as a filmmaker and singer. She made her directorial debut with 3 (2012), starring Dhanush and Shruti Haasan. The film featured the viral hit Why This Kolaveri Di, which turned Dhanush into a national sensation. Apart from directing, she has lent her voice as a playback singer in films like Whistle (2003). In 2016, she was appointed India’s goodwill ambassador for UN Women. She also authored a memoir titled Standing on An Apple Box: The Story of a Girl Among the Stars.
When announcing their split, Dhanush and Aishwaryaa wrote about their journey together. They described their marriage as one filled with growth, understanding, and adaptation. Yet, they admitted that their paths had diverged. They requested privacy and respect as they moved forward individually.
The Link Between Dhanush and Mrunal
Speculation about Dhanush and Mrunal’s relationship began last year. The two were first spotted together in August at the premiere of Son of Sardaar 2. A video from the event sparked rumours that they were dating. Later, they were seen together at a party hosted by producer Kanika Dhillon. Despite the growing chatter, Mrunal clarified that Dhanush was “just a good friend.” She explained that he attended the screening at the invitation of her co-star Ajay Devgn.
Adding fuel to the fire, Filmfare posted on its X account that speculation around the alleged Valentine’s Day wedding had “taken over the internet.” The post mentioned that the ceremony would be intimate, with only family and close friends present. Yet again, the actors have not issued any official statement.
Dhanush’s Recent Success
Meanwhile, Dhanush continues to shine professionally. His latest film, Tere Ishq Mein, has performed exceptionally well at the box office, grossing ₹155 crore. The success has further cemented his position as one of the most bankable stars in Indian cinema.
As Valentine’s Day approaches, fans are waiting eagerly to see if the rumours will turn into reality. While the reports of Dhanush and Mrunal Thakur’s wedding remain unverified, the speculation has already captured the imagination of audiences. Whether it is true or not, the story has added another layer of intrigue to the lives of two celebrated actors.
