Mrunal Thakur has recently quashed the rumours of having two college degrees after completing school. The actress revealed that she could not complete her studies and was kicked out of college due to low attendance.

The Jersey actress in an interview with Mashable India was asked about her two degrees as mentioned in her Wikipedia profile. Although she denied it to be true but jokingly thanked whoever has written or edited the news.“That is wrong. Whoever has written that or edited that to Wikipedia, I am quite thankful. But I do not have any degree. I was kicked out of college. I was detained from KC actually because I had attendance problems," she clarified.
