Actress Mrunal Thakur has apologised to actress Bipasha Basu for body-shaming her. An old video of the Son of Sardaar 2 actress had recently resurfaced and gone viral, where she as a then television actress had made harsh comments about the Jism actress' toned physique. It seems Bipasha had reacted to Mrunal Thakur's remark calling her “manly with muscles", saying on social media, “Strong women lift each other up. #loveyourself. Get those muscles beautiful ladies...we should be strong...” Following Mrunal Thakur's comments that resurfaced on social media, she faced backlash from fans. She has now taken a step to correct her mistake. On August 14, Mrunal Thakur posted a statement of apology on her Instagram Stories, saying sorry to Bipasha Basu. However, Mrunal did not name Bipasha in the note. But it seems the Bollywood actress wants to end the feud, which started with an old remark that no one thought would resurface. ‘I Am Far Better Than Her’: ‘Son of Sardaar 2’ Actress Mrunal Thakur Faces Backlash for Calling Bipasha Basu ‘Manly With Muscles’ in Old Video – WATCH.

What Did Mrunal Thakur Say in Her Apology?

Mrunal Thakur said in her statement regarding the remark on Bipasha Basu, "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."
