Muzammil Ibrahim Clarifies Viral Comments on Deepika Padukone’s Dating Life
Actor Muzammil Ibrahim has recently addressed the resurgence of excerpts from an old interview regarding his past relationship with Deepika Padukone. The interview, originally recorded in 2025 with Siddharth Kanan, has gained traction on social media, leading to a wave of criticism directed at Muzammil. The clips have sparked a heated debate among netizens, prompting the actor to clarify his statements.
Clarification on Past Remarks
In the interview, Muzammil discussed his relationship with Deepika and claimed that she had proposed to him during the early stages of their careers. He mentioned that he declined her proposal because, at that time, she “was just a model” while he viewed himself as a “budding star.” These comments quickly went viral, attracting backlash from social media users, particularly given Deepika’s current status as one of Bollywood’s leading actresses.
In response to the criticism, Muzammil took to Instagram to clarify that the clips circulating online did not capture the full context of the conversation. He stated, “The interview being discussed and wrongly headlined as ‘fresh claims’ was recorded over a year ago. What is currently being circulated are a few moments from a much longer conversation. The hesitation, the context, and the respect with which certain topics were discussed are often lost in the editing process and when excerpts are viewed in isolation.”
Maintaining Respect for the Past
Muzammil emphasized that he holds no negative feelings towards those from his past. He expressed, “I have always tried to speak about people from my past with respect, and that remains unchanged. Like many others, I have spent years focused on building my work and my life, and that is where I hope the conversation remains. I stand by speaking honestly, and I stand by doing so respectfully.”
During the same interview, Muzammil revealed that he and Deepika have kept in touch intermittently since their relationship ended. He noted that they would occasionally congratulate each other on their professional achievements but eventually lost contact after Deepika’s marriage.
Deepika Padukone’s Current Endeavors
Deepika Padukone married actor Ranveer Singh in November 2018 after a long-term relationship. The couple welcomed their daughter, Dua, and are currently expecting their second child. On the professional front, Deepika has an exciting lineup of projects. She is set to star alongside Allu Arjun in Atlee’s upcoming film “Raaka” and will also share the screen with Shah Rukh Khan in Siddharth Anand’s “King.”
