Mrunal Thakur’s Old ‘She Is Not Working’ Clip Triggers Fresh Backlash, With Online Speculation Pointing to Anushka Sharma

Online reactions link the resurfaced remark to Sultan, reviving scrutiny of her past Bipasha Basu comment.

Overview

  • An older interview segment of Mrunal Thakur in which she says, “She is not working at the moment, but I am,” is circulating widely after being reposted on Reddit.
  • Many commenters infer the unnamed actress is Anushka Sharma, tying the remark to reports that Thakur was once considered for Salman Khan’s Sultan before Sharma was cast.
  • In the clip, Thakur says she declined several big films because she was not ready and suggests that avoiding “instant” fame was a personal victory.
  • Critics on Reddit and X call the line mean-spirited and note that Sharma has taken acting breaks by choice and continues to work in production.
  • Coverage notes Thakur has not issued a new clarification on this clip, following her recent Instagram apology for a separate resurfaced video in which she body‑shamed Bipasha Basu.
