Overwhelmed by the audience’s response, Mrunal said it had never been performed on such a larger scale. When asked about getting similar opportunities in Bollywood. she told Hindustan Times, “I didn’t have that opportunity, I’ll be very honest. I was really trying to convince the directors that I had the potential to do better, but I just didn’t have the ability.

However, Mrunal said there are several Bollywood directors who have instilled faith in her acting prowess. “They try to work hard on me and I also want to work hard on the characters. It took too many years down the road just to convince them, ‘yes, I deserve this,'” she added.

A few days ago, Kangana Ranaut heaped praise on Mrunal for her performance in Sita Ramam and handed over her queen title to the actress. “All the actors did incredibly well, but what stood out the most for me was Mrunal Thakur’s performance.
