Actor Mrunal Thakur issued an apology for body-shaming Bipasha Basu in an old video. She shared a note on her Instagram story and stated that her intent was not to hurt anyone.
Mrunal’s Instagram story read, “19-year-old me as a teenager said many silly things. I didn’t always understand the weight of my voice or how much words, even in jest, could hurt. But it did and for that I am deeply sorry. My intent was never to body-shame anyone. It was playful banter in an interview, that went too far. But I understand how it came across, and I truly wish I had chosen my words differently. With time, I’ve grown to appreciate that beauty comes in every form, and that’s something I truly value now.”
