Love Sonia actress Mrunal Thakur has credited Ranveer Singh for launching her career in the Hindi film industry. The revelation might surprise many fans, but Mrunal considers Ranveer her "lucky charm" for uplifting her career.
Speaking to Ranveer Allahbadia on his podcast, Mrunal shared that she did a commercial with Ranveer. After that, big breaks came her way.
Mrunal said, "My heart is happy. He is my lucky charm. He is the reason why I exist in this industry in the first place. I did a commercial with him for a hair brand as a model, and when that commercial hit the screens... it was then that filmmakers started noticing me. That is how I give my credit to him. This man has really helped me. Such a positive person—he deserves all the success."
Mrunal Thakur also praised Ranveer Singh for his stellar performance in Dhurandhar 2.
Praising his acting calibre, Mrunal said, "The acting was not surface level. It had depth and layers. I didn't watch it as Ranveer Singh. I only saw it as Hamza... it was more of a character than a hero. I just feel incredibly proud of Ranveer because he is so hardworking. I pray and wish that whatever he does should be a blockbuster! He can do everything."
