Muzammil Ibrahim, an actor and former supermodel, recently shared his account of a past relationship with Bollywood star Deepika Padukone during a podcast interview. Ibrahim recounted meeting Padukone at a fashion event approximately two decades ago, leading to a relationship that lasted nearly two years. He asserted that the decision to end the relationship was his alone, stating, "It was not a mutual breakup; I was the one who left her." He further claimed he was a more prominent figure in the industry at that time, contrasting their then-current career statuses. Ibrahim expressed no regret over the breakup, acknowledging Padukone's current superstardom and expressing admiration for her successful career.

During the interview, Ibrahim suggested that Padukone was the one who first showed interest in him after their initial meeting. He maintained that he eventually chose to end their nearly two-year relationship. These assertions have not been independently verified by Deepika Padukone or her representatives, who have remained silent on the matter. As of July 2026, Padukone is preparing for the release of 'Raaka' and is also expecting her second child with husband Ranveer Singh, recently sharing relatable content about third-trimester pregnancy experiences.
