Actor and model Muzammil Ibrahim has once again come into the spotlight after an old interview about his past relationship with Deepika Padukone resurfaced online. In the viral clip, he claimed that he was the one who ended their relationship. In fact, he has “no regrets” about it, which led to a major discussion on social media. Eventually, Muzammil clarified that the interview was old and that his comments had been taken out of context. All this has made several netizens curious about him.
Who Is Muzammil Ibrahim?
Muzammil Ibrahim is an Indian actor and model who rose to fame after he won the Gladrags Manhunt Contest in 2003 at the age of 18. The victory opened doors for him in the fashion and entertainment industry. In turn, it made him one of the most recognisable male models of the mid-2000s.
Eventually, he appeared in several popular music videos, including Lucky Ali’s Kabhi Aisa Lagta Hai and the remix of Pardesiya. They made him a household name. Later, he made his Bollywood debut in the 2007 film Dhoka, directed by Pooja Bhatt. Muzammil also worked in films such as Will You Marry Me?
Although he stepped away from the mainstream limelight, he recently made headlines after his old comment about his relationship with Deepika Padukone went viral.
The interview in question was originally recorded in 2025 with Siddharth Kanan. But its clips have once again gone viral. For those unaware, during the conversation, Muzammil claimed that he and Deepika Padukone dated for nearly two years in their early modelling days in Mumbai.
According to him, Deepika was the one who proposed to him. In turn, they spent time together before either of them became a major star. He recalled that they used to have simple auto-rickshaw dates when they were starting in their careers.
The Dhoka actor also claimed he had decided to end their relationship and that he has “no regrets,” believing it was the right decision at the time.
After the interview clips went viral, Muzammil released a statement on Instagram. He explained that the interview was more than a year old. In fact, the shortened edited clips had removed the context of his remarks.
At the same time, Muzammil alleged that he has always spoken about Deepika with respect. In turn, he hoped that people would view the complete conversation rather than isolated words.
In the same interview, Muzammil mentioned that he was the first person Deepika met after she moved to Mumbai. He described that they were in a serious relationship. However, he emphasised that he was never jealous of her success, even after she became one of Bollywood’s biggest stars.
Muzammil admitted that he was more popular at the beginning of his career. But Deepika gradually reached incredible heights in her career through hard work and talent. He also said that they remained in touch for several years after their breakup. He alleged that they also occasionally congratulated each other on achievements before losing contact.
