Mrunal Thakur is back in the headlines — and this time, it’s not because of her rumoured link-up with Dhanush. An old interview of the actress has resurfaced online, where she remarked on Bipasha Basu’s physique, even calling the Jism star “manly.” Now, Bipasha seems to have responded in her own style, posting a cryptic yet pointed message on her Instagram story that many believe is a subtle clapback.

Bipasha Basu took to Instagram to share what many see as a pointed response. Posting a quote that read, “Strong women lift each other up. Get those muscles, beautiful ladies... we should be strong... muscles help you attain good physical and mental health forever! Bust the age-old thought process that women should not look strong or be physically strong!!!” The actress left fans speculating whether the message was aimed at Mrunal.
