IMO, I think Salman Khan was not taking dig at Mrunal, but Anushka Sharma (Salman said, even Anushka did not look like the wrestler).
Salman said, Mrunal Thakur was the first choice for the movie Sultan, and the director Ali Abbas introduced her to him. This clarifies that, Mrunal was the first choice of the director and Salman seemed to like her. It is my opinion that, the Yash Raj Films (YRF) might had something to do with Mrunal not being cast in the movie Sultan. Apparently, the YRF makes a new comer sign their exclusive three movies deal. There are media reports that, Mrunal had declined to sign the three movies deal with the YRF, this also led her not being cast in the movie Thugs of Hindostan.
This scenario would make more sense of Salman mentioning this point in front of the camera, and her asking him to dance with her.
