Actress Hina Khan has expressed support for Mrunal Thakur following the controversy surrounding Thakur’s past remarks about Bipasha Basu. A recent video went viral, showing Thakur making body-shaming comments about Basu in an old interview. Mrunal later apologized publicly for her statements. Hina Khan reacted to Mrunal Thakur’s apology via her Instagram stories. “The fruit of wisdom is knowledge, which comes from experience,” she wrote. “Our social skills, communication, and depth of understanding only develop over time. We all make mistakes, especially when we are young.” She continued, “I completely understand Mrunal’s point of view, I too made stupid mistakes in the past. Some of us go through big risks without the skills to handle them. But with time, we evolve, we become kind, we become compassionate. We learn to uplift each other. We fix each other’s crowns.” Hina acknowledged that both Mrunal and Bipasha have had inspiring careers in Bollywood, and that both are amazing women. She stated, “Like you all, I have seen the inspiring journeys of both Bipasha and Mrunal in the industry. Both are great and Bipasha is an inspiration to the entire community.
