What did Mrunal Thakur say about Bipasha Basu?

For the uninitiated, Mrunal Thakur, in the past, passed a remark on Bipasha Basu, calling her 'far better' than the Ajnabee actress. An old video of Mrunal talking about Bipasha in an interview recently resurfaced online, inviting a severe backlash for the Sita Ramam actress.

Mrunal, who was then a part of the TV show Kumkum Bhagya, allegedly commented on Bipasha's physique. The Kumkum Bhagya actress also asked her co-star Arjit Taneja if he would want to marry a woman who is "manly with muscles."

Bipasha Basu made her debut with the Abbas-Mustan directorial, Ajnabee, in 2001 alongside Akshay Kumar, Kareena Kapoor, and Bobby Deol. Apart from Raaz and Jism, her other notable films are Race, Humko Deewana Kar Gaye, Barsaat, and No Entry. Bipasha was last seen as a lead in the 2015 film, Alone.

She is married to actor Karan Singh Grover. The couple has a daughter named Devi.
