Mrunal Thakur has always been a style icon known for her understated elegance, but it turns out her fashion sense has a very nostalgic origin. The Sita Ramam star recently shared that her penchant for timeless accessories is a direct influence from her mother, whom she fondly describes as a classic lady. In a candid confession, Mrunal admitted that her mother’s impeccable taste was so tempting that she frequently raided her wardrobe to borrow—or rather, steal—watches for her own high-profile events.
Speaking at the launch of a Tissot boutique at DLF Promenade in Vasant Kunj, the actor explained that she views a watch as an essential extension of her personality. For Mrunal, a timepiece is the ultimate finishing touch to a minimal outfit. While she prefers keeping her clothing choices monotone and simple, she relies on accessories to make a statement. Her list of wardrobe must-haves is refreshingly simple: a crisp white shirt, a reliable pair of blue denims, gold earrings or solitaires, and, of course, a classic watch.
Looking ahead, the actor plans to curate her own collection to suit various settings, from glitzy red-carpet appearances to formal business meetings and intimate dinners. Mrunal’s career continues to soar, with her recent project Pooja Meri Jaan hitting ZEE5 on October 2, 2026. Directed by Navjot Gulati and backed by Maddock Films, the movie features the actor alongside Huma Qureshi. As she balances her flourishing career with her signature chic aesthetic, Mrunal remains committed to the idea that true style is all about timeless, minimal pieces that speak for themselves.
