Muzammil Ibrahim says Deepika Padukone asked him out, dated for 2 years before he broke up: ‘Talked before her marriage'

Mint05-06-2025
Actor Muzammil Ibrahim made bold claims about his personal life in an interview about Deepika Padukone. He said he was in a relationship with Deepika for two years right after she shifted to Mumbai during her early days. While he said it was Deepika who asked him out, Muzammil was the one to break up.
In an interview, Muzammil told Siddharth Kannan, 'We were in a relationship for two years.'
He claimed that the two were in touch post break up but stopped talking after Deepika married Ranveer Singh in 2019.
Muzammil Ibrahim shared that as he and Deepika did not have much money in those days, they would go out on rickshaw dates in the rain.
He said, "We were kids then. We would go on dates in a rickshaw in the rains. That was very cute. I had more money than her because I had started earning better. Then I bought a car and she was very happy about that. These things are very memorable because I have not been on a date in a rickshaw since then, and we were so happy even though we had no money.'
He also highlighted that while he was established at that time, Deepika wasn't as popular like she is today. However, she was confident as she was the daughter of star player Prakash Padukone.
He said, 'She was very confident because she is Prakash Padukone's daughter so everyone knew about her.'
'I was a star at that time, she was not. She is a superstar now. Everyone knows her, nobody knows me. I am a big fan. I love watching her movies. She is a beautiful woman. She is doing so great but the fact is what it is,' he added.
When asked if they still talk to each other, he said that they used to talk till the time she married Ranveer. "Before she got married, we would talk sometimes,' he said. He also mentioned that over time, they grew to be friends who occasionally exchanged congratulations on each other's achievements.
Deepika has not yet responded to these revelations.
Muzammil Ibrahim rose to fame after winning the Gladrags Manhunt India pageant as Mr India. Later he made his film debut with Pooja Bhatt's film, Dhokha.
He also starred in films like Horn 'Ok' Pleassss, Will You Marry Me? and Special Ops, which did not work.

Yuvika Chaudhary Weighs In On Deepika Padukone's 8-Hour Shift Demand: ‘Itna Bhi Ruthless...'

Last Updated: Yuvika Chaudhary backs Deepika Padukone's 8-hour shift demand, says working after becoming a mother isn't easy and actors deserve respect for their experience. Deepika Padukone's exit from Spirit has stirred a debate surrounding fixed working hours for actors. Several celebrities have been talking about and giving their views on the topic, and now Yuvika Chaudhary, who is also a new mom, has reacted to the ongoing discussion and backed Deepika Padukone on the topic. In a conversation with Pinkvilla's Hindi Rush, Yuvika opened up about Deepika's demand and shared, 'Ek toh maa banna aasan nahi hai aur maa banne ke baad kaam karna toh bilkul bhi aasan nahi hai. Voh unki definitely demand hogi. Unko kaam se pyaar hai isiliye toh voh kaam kar rahe hai, kaam pe aa rahe hai vapis." (It is not easy to be a mother, and it is not easy at all to work after becoming a mother. That will definitely be her demand. She loves working and that is why she is working; she is coming back to work.) 'Joh aap industry mein itne saalon se kaam kar rahe ho, utni respect toh milna zaroori hai," (She has been working in the industry for so many years, so she deserves that respect) she added while sharing how Deepika's demands are absolutely right. She further continued and stated that no one should be this ruthless towards a new mother, saying, 'So I think she is right. She should get that time because itna bhi aapko ruthless nahi hona chahiye." (She should get that time and no one should be this ruthless.) 'And I'm sure it's not forever. It's a give and take. When you have done a certain amount of work, I think you should get that respect," Yuvika concluded. Bollywood's Ongoing Debate Over Work Hours For the unversed, the debate over work hours in Bollywood started after Deepika Padukone's departure from Sandeep Reddy Vanga's upcoming film Spirit. Reports claimed that the actress, who recently embraced motherhood, requested to limit her workday to eight hours — a clause that reportedly didn't sit well with the filmmaker. Several celebrities, including Vikrant Massey, Rashmika Mandanna, Neha Dhupia, Anurag Basu, and others, came out in support of Deepika amid the ongoing discussion. On the work front, Deepika Padukone is all set to collaborate with Atlee once again after the blockbuster hit Jawan. She is reportedly going to play a pivotal role in Shah Rukh Khan's King. Meanwhile, director Mohit Suri is gearing up for the release of his upcoming film Saiyaraa, starring Ahaan Panday and Aneet Padda.

The video features a monkey continuously relishing the bananas placed in front of him, one after the other. "Gather knowledge persistently as monkeys collect bananas. It's your stepping stones towards success," she captioned the video. The show is an official adaptation of Kannada TV series Bhagyalakshmi.

Still, our writers, our creatives, and the entire team work tirelessly because our show airs daily. I feel very fortunate to be part of such a dedicated and experienced team," she stated.

Reported by Hindustan Times, during the trailer launch of the movie, Sridevi revealed this quiet decision was part of her immersive preparation. 'For three months, I did not speak to Boney ji as a husband,' she said. 'I used to greet him with a good morning and after completing the shoot every day, wish him goodnight. That was the only conversation I had with him.' She added that she completely surrendered herself to director Ravi Udyawar 's vision to play the intense role of a mother seeking justice. A love story that defied the norms Sridevi and Boney Kapoor's relationship had a dramatic beginning and a quiet strength through the years. The couple got married in 1996, after having first met on the sets of Mr India in the 1980s. Their bond grew deeper through challenges, and despite a complex start, they built a family together. They welcomed their first daughter, Janhvi Kapoor , in 1997, followed by Khushi in 2000.
