Her entry into films with superhit ‘Slumdog Millionaire’. Then the girl chose to move to Hollywood and is quite a known name there.

The love story between Deepika and Nihar Pandya.

Deepika Padukone certainly won’t like. Director Prashant Chadda is all set to make a film which will be based on the love and break up between Nihar Pandya and Deepika Padukone. Nihar was apparently Deepika’s first lover and she had dumped him for Ranbir Kapoor. The two had met in 2005 in an acting institution where their love blossomed.

Director Chadda said, “Nihar is like my brother. I was very close to Deepika as well once upon a time. In fact, I had launched her in a music video. Everybody knows how she walked out of Nihar’s life for Ranbir. Nihar was heartbroken. He had done everything by the book. He looked after her for three-and-a-half-years. In fact Deepika stayed in Nihar’s house with his parents for three years.”

“Nobody knows that Deepika actually came crying back to Nihar after breaking up with Ranbir the first time. Nihar went looking for Ranbir, intercepted his car and asked him what he was doing with Deepika. Ranbir shot back, ‘Ask your girlfriend that’. Even after all this, Nihar took Deepika back. And then the same thing happened with Yuvraaj Singh,” added Chaddha.

Obvious enough, there are people who do not like the idea and insist that Chaddha drop his idea. However, Chaddha seems in no mood to skip the project. “I owe it to Nihar.” concluded the filmmaker.
