Mrunal Thakur Blushes as Siddhant Chaturvedi Teases Her Over Dhanush Rumors

New Delhi, February 5, 2026: The promotional trail for the upcoming romantic drama Do Deewane Seher Mein has taken an unexpected turn into the personal lives of its lead stars. During a recent media interaction, Mrunal Thakur found herself at the center of playful teasing when her co-star Siddhant Chaturvedi made a cheeky reference to her alleged “Chennai connection,” sending the actress into a fit of blushes.

The moment, which has since gone viral on social media, adds another layer to the ongoing speculation regarding Mrunal’s relationship with South superstar Dhanush.

The Playful Exchange

The incident occurred as the duo stepped out to promote their film, produced by the legendary Sanjay Leela Bhansali. When a reporter mentioned that “those from Chennai” were asking questions, Siddhant seized the opportunity to pull Mrunal’s leg.

Pointing toward her, he jokingly asked:

“Inse tha woh Chennai waala yaa mujhse tha?” (Was that Chennai question for her or for me?)

The room erupted in laughter as Mrunal, visibly caught off guard, couldn’t stop smiling and blushing. She tried to deflect the attention back to Siddhant, but the media joined in the fun, with reporters playfully adding, “Hum samajh rahe hain” (We understand).

Why the ‘Chennai Connection’ is Trending

The “Chennai connection” is a direct nod to Dhanush, who resides in the Tamil Nadu capital. Rumors of a romance between Mrunal and Dhanush first sparked in August last year when the two were spotted together at the Son of Sardaar 2 premiere.

The fire was further fueled by several key interactions:

• The Teaser Comment: When the teaser for Do Deewane Seher Mein was released, Dhanush commented, “Looks and sounds good,” to which Mrunal responded with heart and sunflower emojis.
• Social Media Clues: Fans have noted that Mrunal follows Dhanush’s sisters on Instagram, a move often interpreted by netizens as a sign of “meeting the family.”
• Wedding Rumors: Recently, baseless reports claimed the duo was set to tie the knot on Valentine’s Day 2026.

Setting the Record Straight

Despite the chemistry during promotions and the lighthearted teasing, Mrunal’s team has been quick to dismiss marriage talk. A source close to the actress recently clarified that her schedule is packed with the release of Do Deewane Seher Mein on February 20 and a Telugu project in March, making a wedding in the immediate future highly unlikely.

In a past interview, Mrunal had described her equation with the Asuran star as purely professional, calling him a “good friend.” More recently, she shared a cryptic yet firm post on Instagram with the caption, “Grounded, glowing and unshaken,” which many saw as her way of rising above the gossip.

About ‘Do Deewane Seher Mein’

Directed by Ravi Udyawar, the film is a contemporary love story featuring the fresh pairing of Siddhant Chaturvedi and Mrunal Thakur. Produced under the banners of Zee Studios and Bhansali Productions, it is one of the most anticipated releases of the month.

Whether the “Chennai connection” is a real-life romance or just a case of two talented actors sharing a solid friendship, the buzz has certainly succeeded in keeping Do Deewane Seher Mein in the headlines.
