Tamannaah Bhatia shares a close bond with Mrunal.
On Ranveer Allahbadia's podcast, Mrunal had this to say about her bestie: 'Tamannaah is the purest. She has my heart, she is the best. That woman gives me so much strength. She's always like, 'Chill, have fun, enjoy life.'
'It's like a sisterhood in a way. It's really nice to have a girl as your best friend because, growing up, I always thought that I could never be friends with girls. It was always five boys and one girl, and that girl would be me. But now, I've started really enjoying female friendships.'
