Mrunal Thakur reveals ''stealing' classic watches from her mother
Actress Mrunal Thakur reveals how she used to steal classic watches from her mother's wardrobe to complete her minimal fashion looks.
Bollywood actress Mrunal Thakur, celebrated for her sophisticated and minimal fashion sense, has opened up about the roots of her impeccable style. During a recent event, the Sita Ramam star revealed that her penchant for timeless accessories, especially classic watches, was deeply influenced by her mother.
A Mother's Influence on Timeless Style
Speaking at the Tissot boutique launch at DLF Promenade, Vasant Kunj, Mrunal shared a charming anecdote about her childhood and teenage years. She credited her mother's elegant persona for shaping her own aesthetic preferences.
“I think my mom has spoiled me because she was always a classic lady,” the actress admitted. She confessed that her love for high-quality accessories often led to a little bit of mischief. “Sometimes for my most important events, I would steal it from her,” she told ANI.
The Essential Accessory: Why Watches Matter
For Mrunal, a timepiece is far more than a tool to track hours; it is a cornerstone of her personal brand. She views a watch as a vital element that completes an outfit, providing a touch of sophistication to her otherwise understated looks.
“Without a watch, your outfit is not complete, it just adds that little hint. It's also something so minimal, chic, and at the same time very classy,” she explained. The actress noted that while her clothing choices tend to be minimal, she prefers her accessories to "speak" for her personality.
Mrunal's Wardrobe Essentials
The actress, known for her roles in films like Jersey and Dacoit: A Love Story, shared a glimpse into her personal style philosophy. She prefers a monotone approach to clothing, which allows a single, striking accessory to take center stage.
When asked about her wardrobe staples, Mrunal listed a few items she considers non-negotiable:
- A crisp white shirt
- Blue denims
- Gold earrings or solitaires
- A classic watch
Looking ahead, Mrunal plans to integrate pieces from her own growing watch collection into various high-profile settings, including red carpets, formal business meetings, and elegant dinners.
Mrunal was recently featured in the production Pooja Meri Jaan, starring alongside Huma Qureshi. The Maddock Films production, directed by Navjot Gulati and produced by Dinesh Vijan and Amar Kaushik, was released on ZEE5 on October 2, 2026.
