MUMBAI: Yep, it’s happening—Dhanush and Mrunal Thakur are officially (unofficially) dating! The two stars have reportedly been spending a lot of time together after first meeting at an event in Hyderabad. While they’re not confirming anything publicly just yet, sources say it’s definitely more than just friendship.

According to a recent News18 report, the relationship is still fresh and the actors are in no rush to go public. But that hasn’t stopped them from being seen together—fans first picked up on the vibe when the two were caught holding hands and sharing a quiet moment at Mrunal’s birthday bash in Mumbai.

Dhanush even made headlines when he flew in from Chennai just to attend the screening of Mrunal’s latest film—something he rarely does unless it’s his own release. Mrunal was also spotted at the wrap party for Dhanush’s upcoming movie with Kriti Sanon, adding more fuel to the romance fire.

Insiders say the couple has been getting closer and that their friends are fully rooting for them. “They’re very alike in values and outlook,” one source shared, adding that the chemistry is clear but they prefer to keep things chill and out of the spotlight for now.

This marks Dhanush’s first public link-up since his split from Aishwaryaa Rajinikanth, with whom he shares two sons. The former couple finalised their divorce in 2024.

So while there may be no official Instagram post or statement just yet, it seems Bollywood may have a new secret couple—and fans are already loving it.
