Manikarnika just became PERSONAL to Deepika Padukone!

The makers of Deepika Padukone’s Padmavati are gearing up for its December 1 worldwide 3D release, for which the makers have partnered up with Paramount Studios for a wider global reach.

One might think that since the release is literally a month away, all of Deepika’s focus will solely be on the magnum opus. But, not many know that somehow, Deepika is also connected to the Kangana Ranaut-starrer Manikarnika: The Queen Of Jhansi.

Wondering how? As per reports, a certain ex-boyfriend of the goddess queen, namely Nihaar Pandya, will be making a full-fledged debut in the Rani of Jhansi biopic.

For those who are unaware, before Deepika-Ranbir or now Ranveer became the power couples of B-Town, it was Nihaar who was reportedly living in with Deepika during her struggling days in Bangalore, until Om Shanti Om happened and the latter fled to Mumbai to debut opposite Shah Rukh Khan, which meant that Nihaar was left behind.

Not a lot of people know that Nihaar had a cameo in Salman Khan’s Marigold, but we all know what happens to small roles in a film.

Now, the question is, will there be awkward vibes between the two if they happen to bump into each other? We will know.
