Muzammil Ibrahim’s name is making headlines again, years after his brief but memorable run in Bollywood. Once a promising model and actor, Muzammil’s story is a mix of early fame, a super flop debut, high-profile relationships, and a life that’s taken many turns since.
Key Highlights:
-
Muzammil Ibrahim was born in Srinagar in 1986 and first found fame after winning the Gladrags Manhunt Contest in 2003, which launched his modeling career.
-
He starred in popular music videos, most notably “Pardesiya” alongside Rakhi Sawant, which made him a familiar face in the early 2000s.
-
Muzammil made his Bollywood debut in 2007 with Pooja Bhatt’s film Dhokha. Despite his hopes, the film was a commercial flop, and he didn’t get the recognition he expected.
In a recent interview, Muzammil revealed that he dated Deepika Padukone for two years when she was new to Mumbai. He claims Deepika was the one who asked him out, and they enjoyed simple dates, like riding in auto-rickshaws during the monsoon.
Muzammil says he was Deepika’s first boyfriend in Mumbai, and they stayed in touch until she married Ranveer Singh. He’s open about the fact that he broke up with her and now admires her success from afar.
He also shared that he and Rakhi Sawant worked together in the hit remix video “Pardesiya,” which was a big part of his early fame.
Beyond acting, Muzammil is known for his bravery—he’s received national awards for saving lives, including rescuing a boy from drowning as a child and a tourist in Goa as an adult.
Today, Muzammil is not very active in Bollywood but occasionally appears in web series and remains a respected figure in modeling and among his fans.
