Rumors are swirling that "Raanjhanaa" star Dhanush may be dating Mrunal Thakur after a video went viral showing the two actors together at Mrunal's birthday party on August 1, 2025. This comes after Dhanush's divorce from Aishwaryaa Rajinikanth in November 2024, following 18 years of marriage.
The video, which has been widely shared on social media platforms, shows Dhanush and Mrunal holding hands and engaged in an intimate conversation. Mrunal is also seen leaning in to whisper something in Dhanush's ear, further fueling speculation about a potential relationship. The clip has triggered a flurry of reactions from fans, with many wondering if the two are indeed the newest couple in town. Some fans have pointed to the undeniable chemistry between them.
Adding to the rumors, Dhanush reportedly flew to Mumbai to attend the special screening of "Son of Sardaar 2," which stars Mrunal Thakur alongside Ajay Devgn. This gesture was seen as particularly significant, given Dhanush's tendency to avoid making frequent public appearances.
This isn't the first time the two have been spotted together. Mrunal also attended the wrap-up party for Dhanush's upcoming film, "Tere Ishk Mein", further igniting the gossip mills. Writer-producer Kanika Dhillon, who hosted the party, shared pictures on social media featuring Mrunal and Dhanush smiling alongside other members of the film's team.
Adding another layer to the speculation, some netizens have dug up Mrunal Thakur's Spotify playlist, noting that it includes Tamil songs that Dhanush might listen to. This has led to theories about a shared musical taste and further fueled the dating rumors.
Neither Dhanush nor Mrunal have addressed the dating rumors directly. This silence has only served to intensify the speculation and keep fans guessing about the true nature of their relationship.
Dhanush's divorce from Aishwaryaa Rajinikanth was finalized in November 2024, with the Chennai Family Court granting the couple a divorce based on mutual consent. The couple, who have two sons, Yatra and Linga, had announced their separation in January 2022, after 18 years of marriage.
Mrunal Thakur is 33 years old, while Dhanush is 42, making her nine years younger than him.
While it is still unconfirmed whether Dhanush and Mrunal Thakur are indeed dating, their recent public appearances and the viral video have certainly captured the attention of fans and media alike. Until either of them confirms or denies the rumors, fans can only speculate and look for more clues about this potential new romance.
