The video features an unrealistic scenario brought to life by editing, where Mrunal can be seen celebrating Diwali with her fan by bursting firecrackers together.

Mrunal was heavily trolled by social media users for her actions, with some users calling her behaviour ‘excessive’.
She later clarified that although she was initially pleased, she saw that the fan had done several edits with other actresses as well. This realisation made her ‘sad and disappointed’, as she had hoped the fan’s affection to be genuine.

Some users also came out to her defence, with one of them writing, “Celebrities deserve genuine love, not bizarre edits.”
Mrunal’s reaction on this matter reveals the growing fear and frustration among celebrities regarding their persona being used for misleading and often criminal purposes.
