Indian actress Mrunal Thakur may have made her debut in Hrithik Roshan's Super 30 a couple of years ago, however, she's clearly seen her popularity skyrocket since then.

The actress, who has predominantly worked in Hindi and Marathi cinema before her big break in Bollywood, also got rave reviews for her acting in her Dhamaka opposite Kartik Aaryan.

Now, Mrunal is all set to finally star in her latest Bollywood film alongside hunk Shahid Kapoor, with the movie being a sports drama called Jersey.

The movie will revolve around the story of a talented yet failed cricketer who decides to return to the sport in his late thirties after he's driven by the goal of representing the Indian cricket team in order to fulfill his son's wish for a jersey as a gift.

Now, Mrunal who is set to be busy with the promos of the film, while speaking to Hindustan Times, revealed how despite her being active on social media, she's not able to post bikini pictures of herself.

The actress revealed how despite her confidence in her body type, she still needs to pluck up the courage to upload pictures of herself in a bikini. 

“I need to gather courage to post a picture in the bikini, with the body type I have at the time and I am comfortable with it. I am just gearing up,” she said.

The Love Sonia actress said that the reason for this was because of people's reaction to different body types in bikinis, especially in India.

“I feel India has not entirely normalized bodies. We still think if you are going to a beach you have to have a perfect body,” she said.

Mrunal also spoke on how there shouldn't be a sample size or a particular fitness in order to wear a swimsuit.

“But, that’s not how I want to inspire girls out there. It’s okay to be bloated, and to have celluloid (cellulite). You need to be fit within and not necessarily have six-pack abs.” she said.

The actress speaks at the back of getting cheap comments on one of her Instagram posts where she was told that her back was a 'matka', while she was exercising.
