In her post, Mrunal Thakur wrote: "A recent interview I did - in which I spoke candidly about my childhood, and about my journey as an actor so far - appears to have been extracted out of context to highlight one sensitive topic that has been completely misunderstood and sensationalized by several media outlets. While I stand by the interview I did, incidents like these make public figures wary of speaking honestly to the media. I urge you to watch the interview in full, and I request my friends in the media not to quote me out of context or cull out portions that might make for sensational headlines."
