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

After Claiming There's An "Attempt To Kill Her" Like Sushant Singh Rajput, Tanushree Dutta Says, "I've Lived A Slow, Low-Key Sadhana Lifestyle"
New Delhi: A day after claiming that her life is under threat in Mumbai, actor Tanushree Dutta said she is overwhelmed with media requests as she continues to speak out about the harassment she is facing. What's Happening "I'm swamped with interviews and haven't been keeping well either. I've lived a slow, low-key sadhana lifestyle last few years. I'm trying the best I can. Please bear with me. I'll talk to everyone slowly, slowly," she wrote. She added, "Pooja was over by the time I was able to finish my interview and sit at the temple." Background In an interview with News18, Tanushree Dutta said there is an attempt to kill her, similar to what happened to the late actor Sushant Singh Rajput. She said, "The Bollywood mafia gang is huge, and like Sushant, my life is also in danger. Like Sushant Singh Rajput, there is an attempt to kill me too." For context, Sushant Singh Rajput was found dead in his Mumbai home in 2020. His death triggered widespread outrage and conspiracy theories, though no foul play has been proven to date. What Did Tanushree Dutta Say? Tanushree shared a video on Tuesday night and wrote about facing harassment at home. In the video, she said, "Guys, I'm being harassed in my own home. I just called the cops. I got worried and called the police. The police came. They asked me to come to the police station to launch a proper complaint. I'm probably going tomorrow or the day after. I'm not well. I've been harassed so much in the last 4-5 years that my health has deteriorated." She also spoke to NDTV about her past experience with the police during the MeToo movement in 2018. "My experience with the Mumbai Police during the 2018 MeToo movement left a very bitter taste in my mouth," she said. "They encouraged me to file an FIR back then. I spent four to five hours at the station, gave a detailed statement, and kept following up and nothing came of it. In Maharashtra, these molesters and harassers are often hobnobbing with politicians. They're protected. So, there's no real scope of justice," she added. Tanushree Dutta had accused actor Nana Patekar of sexually harassing her during the shoot of a special song in the film Horn 'Ok' Pleassss in 2009. She made these allegations in a Zoom interview in 2018. Patekar, however, denied all the claims. Tanushree first raised the allegations in 2008 by filing a complaint with the Cine and TV Artistes Association (CINTAA), but no action was taken as it was considered a criminal matter. On October 13, 2018, her lawyer Nitin Satpute submitted an application at the Oshiwara police station in Mumbai requesting that Nana Patekar, choreographer Ganesh Acharya, producer Samee Siddiqui, and director Rakesh Sarang undergo narco-analysis, brain mapping, and lie detector tests. In June 2019, the police cleared Nana Patekar of the sexual harassment charges. A B-summary report filed by the Oshiwara police station stated that Tanushree's complaint could be "malicious" and "out of revenge."

Did Deepika Padukone opt out of Sandeep Reddy Vanga's Spirit for Atlee's next starring Allu Arjun? Here's what we know
Deepika Padukone's departure from Sandeep Reddy Vanga's 'Spirit' sparked speculation, with reports suggesting she prioritized Atlee's sci-fi thriller with Allu Arjun due to scheduling conflicts and a more exciting offer. Her exit led to Triptii Dimri's casting in 'Spirit,' while Deepika's request for shorter workdays ignited discussions about work-life balance for mothers in the film industry. The buzz around Deepika Padukone 's sudden exit from Sandeep Reddy Vanga 's Spirit has left fans and industry insiders speculating. While initial reports pointed to creative and contractual disagreements, a new update suggests her decision may have hinged on a more compelling offer—Atlee's big-budget sci-fi thriller with Allu Arjun . A More Exciting Offer? A report in Bollywood Hungama claimed that Deepika's decision to exit Spirit had more to do with scheduling conflicts. She has reportedly chosen to prioritise director Atlee's upcoming film with Allu Arjun instead. The report further added that the actress was initially on board with Spirit and had even begun contract discussions after being impressed by the script and her role. However, just a week later, she received an offer for Atlee's film with Allu Arjun—a project she reportedly found more exciting. Faced with a scheduling clash, Deepika chose to step away from Spirit, officially citing reasons like disagreements over remuneration and working hours. Triptii Dimri Steps In Deepika was eventually replaced by Triptii Dimri in Spirit. Director Sandeep Reddy Vanga confirmed the casting through an official social media post, announcing Triptii as the film's new female lead opposite Prabhas. Conversation on Work-Life Balance So far, neither Deepika nor Vanga has addressed the controversy surrounding her exit from Spirit. However, reports suggesting that the actress requested an eight-hour workday due to her new role as a mother have sparked industry-wide conversations about work-life balance and accommodations for female actors post-motherhood. Several celebrities—including Ajay Devgn, Vidya Balan, Surveen Chawla , Sonakshi Sinha , Neha Dhupia, Vikrant Massey, and Anurag Basu—have weighed in on the eight-hour shift request for new mothers in the film industry. Most have expressed their support, acknowledging the importance of creating a more accommodating and empathetic work environment for actresses balancing motherhood and careers. Deepika's Upcoming Line-Up Last month, it was officially confirmed that Deepika Padukone will star in Atlee's upcoming film alongside Allu Arjun. Touted to be a sci-fi action thriller, the project generated major buzz online, especially after Deepika's announcement video went viral across social media platforms. Apart from AA22xA6, Deepika Padukone is also part of King, another highly anticipated project that has already gone on floors. The ensemble cast includes Shah Rukh Khan , Rani Mukerji, Abhishek Bachchan , Suhana Khan, Anil Kapoor, Jackie Shroff, Raghav Juyal, Arshad Warsi, Jaideep Ahlawat, and Abhay Verma.
