In a revelation that has taken Bollywood fans by surprise, actor and former model muzammil ibrahim recently shared that he was in a serious relationship with actress Deepika Padukone. According to him, the two dated for nearly two years before eventually parting ways. The candid confession has stirred nostalgia among fans and media, adding another chapter to Deepika's lesser-known dating history before she rose to stardom.
Relationship Started When Deepika Was New to the Industry
muzammil ibrahim disclosed that Deepika Padukone approached him during her early days in the film industry. He mentioned that it was Deepika who initiated their relationship, and they eventually spent almost two years together. The relationship reportedly began before Deepika became a major Bollywood name with her breakthrough film “Om Shanti Om.”
The actor highlighted that theirs was a serious and mature relationship, not just a fleeting celebrity romance. He added that both kept it private to avoid media interference and speculation.
Why Did the Relationship End?
In his interview, muzammil ibrahim shared that he was the one who ended the relationship. He did not delve deeply into the reasons but suggested that it was a personal choice based on differences that had grown over time. According to him, despite the emotional connection, the two parted ways on a civil note.
This revelation is particularly interesting because both parties had never spoken about their time together publicly until now. Deepika has never mentioned muzammil ibrahim in any previous interviews, and this is the first public acknowledgement of their past.
Muzammil’s Life After the Breakup
After their breakup, muzammil ibrahim continued to work in films and modeling, although he stayed largely away from the limelight. He was last seen in some digital and independent film projects. He also expressed no bitterness and emphasized that he has immense respect for Deepika and her successful journey in the industry.
The actor also pointed out that he kept this chapter private all these years out of respect and maturity, but finally decided to speak about it now, feeling it was the right time.
