After
wooing
audience
as
Bulbul
in
Ekta
Kapoor's
popular
TV
soap
Kumkum
Bhagya,
Mrunal
Thakur
made
a
successful
transition
into
films
with
Tabrez
Noorani's
2018
drama,
Love
Sonia.
As
a
village
girl
who
gets
entrapped
in
the
world
of
flesh
trade,
the
actress
delivered
a
powerful
performance
in
this
film,
and
went
on
to
bag
John
Abraham's
Batla
House
and
Hrithik
Roshan's
Super
30.
Both
the
films
performed
well
at
the
box
office,
and
the
actress
now
has
some
interesting
projects
in
the
pipeline.
But,
Mrunal
admits
that
the
journey
wasn't
easy
for
her.
Recently,
in
a
tete-a-tee
with
Pinkvilla,
the
actress
opened
up
about
how
she
took
every
criticism
in
a
constructive
way
when
she
was
making
her
transition
from
television
to
films.
Mrunal
told
the
news
portal,
"There
were
times
when
I
would
go
for
film
auditions
and
they
would
say
that
this
is
not
meant
for
you,
but
I
would
still
be
like
'ek
audition
leke
rakh
do'
(just
take
one
audition
and
keep).
Although
there
was
a
lot
of
criticism,
I
think
that
was
something
that
kept
me
moving."
Elaborating
further,
the
actress
said,
"They
said
that
you
have
a
very
television
face.
You
are
only
good
for
television/
Also
there
was
this
stereotype
mentality
where
people
were
like
television
actors
cannot
do
that
transition,
but
I
just
wanted
to
break
it
and
I
felt
like
films
were
something
I
was
meant
for
and
I
didn't
stop."
Mrunal
said
that
she
took
all
the
negative
comments
in
a
positive
way.
"I
want
to
say
thank
you
to
all
the
people
who
said
that.
Because
if
they
wouldn't
have
passed
those
comments,
(then)
I
wouldn't
be
here
sitting
in
front
of
you.
So
a
big
thank
you
to
all
of
them,
who
told
me
that
'you
cannot
make
it
into
Bollywood,
you
should
only
be
a
television
actress'.
I
am
very
happy
where
I
am.
Actually
that's
how
I
got
motivated,
so
I
took
it
in
a
positive
way," the
actress
told
Pinkvilla.
With
respect
to
films,
Mrunal
has
some
interesting
projects
in
her
kitty
which
includes
Shahid
Kapoor's
Jersey,
Farhan
Akhtar's
Toofan,
Abhimanyu
Dassani's
Aankh
Micholi,
Sidharth
Malhotra's
Thadam
remake
and
Ishaan
Khatter
starrer
Pippa.
