An old interview of actor and model Muzammil Ibrahim has resurfaced on social media, sparking widespread discussion after he claimed that he was once in a relationship with Bollywood star Deepika Padukone. The clip, originally from a 2025 conversation with Siddharth Kannan, has gone viral, with Ibrahim’s remarks drawing mixed reactions from fans online.
In the interview, Muzammil claimed that he and Deepika Padukone dated for nearly two years during the early days of their careers in Mumbai. According to him, the relationship began after Deepika allegedly proposed to him. He further stated that he ended the relationship and has “no regrets” about his decision. Ibrahim also remarked that he was already working as an actor at the time, while Deepika was still establishing herself as a model.
Speaking about their relationship after the breakup, Ibrahim claimed that the two remained on cordial terms for several years. He said they would occasionally speak over the phone, congratulate each other on professional milestones, and stayed in touch until Deepika’s marriage to actor Ranveer Singh in 2018. According to Ibrahim, they eventually lost contact after her wedding.
It is important to note that Deepika Padukone has never publicly confirmed or spoken about being in a relationship with Muzammil Ibrahim. As a result, the claims made in the resurfaced interview remain unverified from her side.
The viral clip has triggered strong reactions across social media, particularly from Deepika Padukone’s fans. Many users accused Ibrahim of attempting to gain attention by bringing up an alleged past relationship with the actress years later. Several fans defended Deepika, with some pointing out that she is happily married to Ranveer Singh and focused on her family and career.
Deepika Padukone and Ranveer Singh tied the knot in November 2018 after dating for several years. The couple welcomed their first child, a daughter, in September 2024 and are currently expecting their second child. Meanwhile, the resurfaced interview continues to generate debate online, with fans divided over Ibrahim’s comments and their timing.
