At a time when the film industry is increasingly caught in the churn of back-to-back releases, actor Mrunal Thakur says she has chosen to step away from the noise in her own way.
The 33-year-old adds, "I was offered quite a few lovely films, with amazing setups, great teams, and everything in place, but I still said no, because I didn’t feel like I could really contribute much as an actor."
Mrunal says that, for her, creative satisfaction outweighs the lure of visibility. "That’s why I sometimes choose to do just one film a year. And that is not the case only for Bollywood, but it’s something I follow across cinema," she shares.
It is this emphasis on impact that defines her choices. "It’s not about how many films I’m doing. It’s about what I’m doing in that film. You might come to me with a great project, but if I’m not doing anything in it, that doesn’t appeal to me," she explains.
