Thakur's original statement made during 'Jersey' promotions
Thakur's original comment about Kohli was made while she was promoting Jersey with co-star Shahid Kapoor. She had said, "There was a time when I was madly in love with Virat Kohli. I started liking cricket because of my brother who's a big fan. I have fond memories of watching a match live at a stadium with him around five years ago."
Thakur's upcoming projects and recent work
Thakur has appeared in several South Indian films such as Sita Ramam and Hi Nanna. Her last role was in The Family Star alongside Vijay Deverakonda, and she also had a cameo in the pan-India hit Kalki 2898 AD.
