Mrunal Thakur says this heartbreak is 'crazier' than a romantic breakup

Mrunal Thakur on her love with characters

Mrunal Thakur has made a name for herself despite tough competition in Bollywood and South Indian films. She has quickly risen the ranks thanks to her acting chops and a humble personality. During a conversation with a media outlet, Mrunal shared that she gets attached to her reel characters so much that it feels like heartbreak for her when the project gets over.

When asked to share the challenges of acting, Mrunal described the toughest thing for an actor is going back home to reality after the shooting for a film ends and feeling the void of reel characters. She also revealed that the magic only happens when you are in sync with your character.
