Mrunal Thakur also revealed that even working with leading actors like Hrithik Roshan, Farhan Akhtar, Shahid Kapoor, and John Abraham has mostly been about going with the flow in terms of decision making. According to her, an actor has to be convinced with the work that he or she is doing, only then can they convince the audience about the same. Speaking about her journey in Bollywood, she said that once an actor has stepped into Bollywood, things become more difficult as people are constantly watching what the actor will be doing next. It is not just about films but also about various other factors like how people position themselves and take care of their films. Mrunal Thakur also said that social media presence also plays an integral role in the life of an actor.
