What Mrunal said
In the interview, Mrunal said: “I was not really comfortable doing scenes which were intimate, like romantically. I would just get scared, I’d just say no to a film, but how long could I say no? There was a point I had to sit down with my parents and tell them that ‘Papa, I cannot miss a part because sometimes it’s there, it’s not my choice.’”
She further continued, “As much as I wanted to do a film, I had to drop because there was a kissing scene involved. As an actor, you need to be ready because sometimes that’s the demand (of the scene). If you are not comfortable, you can tell, you can talk about it but I kept missing out on films because of that.” The actor revealed how her parents were initially not okay with her doing films and leaving college. Her father did not agree at first when she said that she had got an offer for a show. Mrunal added that she had to manage her work and college; and then when her attendance fluctuated, her father told her to do the show with full focus.
