Bollywood stars and their charm are something that we cannot resist. Speaking of which, one of the most charming actors in the industry, Shahid Kapoor, almost intimidated his Jersey co-star,
Mrunal Thakur. The two collaborated for the 2022 release of the sports drama.
Even though the movie was a commercial disappointment, fans loved Mrunal Thakur and Shahid Kapoor's pair. The duo also delivered an exceptional performance.
The actress's love for
the Jab We Met actor is inevitable, and she calls herself a self-proclaimed fan. In a recent interview, Thakur recalled her first meeting with Shahid and her experience working with him in Jersey.
When Mrunal Thakur was intimidated by Shahid Kapoor
The Sita Ramam actress sat down for a candid chat with Humans of Bombay, where she recalled being an ardent Shahid fan. She even revealed the first meeting with the actor and her experience shooting with him.
'The day I was supposed to meet Shahid for a script reading, I got the address wrong and ended up late,' Mrunal recalled, adding, 'When I finally met him, I blurted out, 'Your smile in real life is exactly like it is on screen!''

shoot of Jersey, there were days when I would forget my lines because I was so overwhelmed being on the sets with Shahid Kapoor. He's a great co-star.'
'But for the first few days, I was also a little awkward. I tend to get intimidated when working with people who I have really admired on screen,' she concluded.
Mrunal Thakur on seeking therapy
An actor's life is certainly not as easy as it looks. They tend to get carried away with the characters they play and the fame that follows.
The Super 30 actress also spoke about how seeking therapy helps her keep everything balanced.
In the same chat with Humans of Bombay, she revealed, 'I do therapy. It's so important for everybody, but especially for an actor because we also get into the skin of other characters who have their own journey."
"So, how to resume, how to come back to yourself and not feel or get affected by the characters, the situation, the atmosphere, or the setup,' she said.
On the work front, Mrunal Thalur was last seen in Family Man alongside Vijay Deverakonda. The film was released on Amazon Prime Video. She will next be seen in Hanu Raghavapudi's Matka, opposite Prabhas.
