Bollywood sensation Mrunal Thakkur has been causing a stir in the media lately as she openly contemplates the option of freezing her eggs.

This unexpected decision has captured the attention of fans and the public, sparking discussions about fertility choices.

During the interview with Humans of Bombay, Mrunal, 31, spoke about how, like many desi women, she too faces the pressure to find a right man and settle down.

The actress is too busy with her career now, and that finding the right balance between her life and career is important for her.

“It’s important to balance life and career but you’re always trying to figure out how to strike that balance. I know relationships are tough, and that’s why you need to find the right partner who understands the nature of your job.”

When questioned the rumors of freezing her eggs:

“Freezing eggs, yes, I’m also considering that,” said Mrunal when it was brought up that actor Mona Singh recently opened up about freezing her eggs.

Thakkur's willingness to share this personal journey is shedding light on important conversations surrounding women's health and reproductive choices in the spotlight.

The ‘Gumraah’ star also opened up about her mental health and about days when she ‘didn’t want to get out of bed’, yet she had to go to work and shoot happy scenes. She revealed that she relies on therapy and her loved ones to get her through such days.

““I was using my work as a bandaid, but the moment I packed up and went home, I was miserable. Now, I talk it out to get it out of my system. I do therapies; it’s important for anyone, especially actors who play different characters. I have people who ground me, my friends and my sister. My cat also makes such a difference in my life.”

On the work front, Mrunal recently forayed into Telugu cinema with the 2022 film Sita Ramam, the 2023 film Hi Nanna, and The Family Star, which were released this year.

Sita Ramam and Hi Nanna were massive hits, while The Family Star received a lukewarm response.

She will soon star in Pooja Meri Jaan in Hindi, apart from Sanjay Leela Bhansali's next production.
