Mrunal Thakur on senior actor playing her husband
In Son of Sardaar 2, Mrunal played Rabia Akhtar, while Chunky Panday portrayed her estranged husband, Danish. The film also starred Ajay Devgn as Jaswinder Singh Randhawa, also known as Jassi, opposite Neeru Bajwa. She revealed that she was unaware that a senior actor would play her husband in the film, because of which her trust was shaken.
“I didn’t know, like, a very senior actor is going to play my husband. Because that just changes my… this is not what I expected from the movie. So, there I failed because there was a little bit of trust that was shaken. But you know what, I don’t have regrets,” she said in an interview with Prema.
Mrunal Thakur on scenes with Roshni Walia being edited
Mrunal Thakur also mentioned that a few important scenes between her and Roshni Walia’s character, who played her stepdaughter Saba in the film, were edited out.
“I did not know two important scenes of mine would be edited on the table. Like, there’s this beautiful scene with me and Roshni. She’s actually my sister’s child, and my sister dies in the movie—it’s just a narrative. And I give up my personal life for her betterment. She says, ‘It’s better I don’t have a mother, I have you. And I pray that every girl gets a mother like you, even if you’ve not given birth to me.’ But the way you’ve taken care… that narrative was missing.”
