‘No point living life in regret, yaar

‘Trust me, I don’t even enjoy the company of friends who live in regret.’ ‘You either own your decisions or just let it go and work harder to get something better.’

“It’s a new year and new anti-bodies,” Mrunal Thakur announces, having recovered from COVID-19 recently.

“My family lives with me, so I gave it to my sister. How could I not?” she adds with a laugh.

Mrunal has been having a wonderful run as an actress, and she expects it to get even better with her next film, Jersey.

“I have always been the sweet, supportive girl, but here (in Jersey), I am not. People will get to see a different version of me as an actor.”

Jersey was supposed to release on December 31, but got postponed because of the pandemic. Were you disappointed?

Of course, I was! But everything has its time.

The film is destined to release when times are good, when it is safe for people to travel to the theatres.

I feel like the wait is going to be worth it.

It’s a beautiful film, and people will enjoy it on the big screen.

How important is Jersey for your career?

It’s very important for my career because for the first time, I’m playing a character that I have not done before.

I have always been the sweet, supportive girl, but here, I am not.

People will get to see a different version of me as an actor.

I think when the film releases, film-makers will trust me because there are few roles where an actor gets an opportunity to showcase their talent.

I think this is going to be a game-changer for me in my career.

What was it like working with Shahid Kapoor?

It was a brilliant experience!

Every day was a learning experience.

He is a fabulous actor and a great human being.
