Mrunal Thakur and Dhanush Dating: Bollywood seems to have a new potential couple now, and the netizens are already losing it.
The latest rumor doing the rounds is that Mrunal Thakur and Dhanush may be secretly dating, and the evidences aren’t your usual paparazzi pics or flirty post comments. This time, fans believe the romance clue lies in a Spotify playlist.
According to some online Reddit users, both Mrunal and Dhanush have public Spotify profiles, and they’ve been sending small signals of dating through shared playlists. One playlist in question is titled “Genghis”, a name easily recognizable to Dhanush fans as it matches the name of his pet dog.
The playlist, linked to either his or a mutual profile, includes a number of Ilaiyaraaja numbers; music Dhanush has always expressed deep love for in past interviews. This detail alone raised some eyebrows.
But things got spicier when someone discovered a playlist on Mrunal Thakur’s public profile called “Mama’s Favs.” The name may seem normal and sweet at first instance, but the content sparked interesting fan theories. The playlist is full of old Tamil songs; many of which are Ilaiyaraaja tracks, and most importantly, all the songs were added in 2025.
“AAAAAAAAAHHHHH I’M CRINGING!! This is so specific. Who else would ‘Mama’ be? It’s gotta be Dhanush.”
If you thought it was just internet speculations, there’s more. Dhanush was reportedly seen at Mrunal’s birthday party this year, alongside stars like Tamannaah Bhatia and Siddhant Chaturvedi. While no photos of them together have surfaced online, sources say they were “definitely seen chatting closely.”
This adds a whole new viewpoint to the rumors. Music taste? Check. Cute nicknames? Check. Seen together? Definitely.
Of course, none of this confirms they are dating. Artists often bond over music, and sharing playlists could simply be a sign of close friendship; or even collaboration. Or it might be their PR gimmick for any upcoming projects. Still, the level of enthusiasm in the playlists, combined with the recent birthday scenes, has netizens convinced there’s more than just casual friendship going on.
