The Story in Brief
Actor Abhay Verma has said Deepika Padukone was his first crush and love in an interview with Zoom, as reported by Times Now. He said he used to keep her pictures in his wardrobe and posters under his pillow. Verma met Padukone while working on King, in which he also shares the screen with Shah Rukh Khan.
Verma, who appeared in Munjya and the Netflix series Operation Safed Sagar, said aspiring actors should dream big. He cited Shah Rukh Khan and Amitabh Bachchan as inspirations. King, directed by Siddharth Anand, is scheduled for a theatrical release on 24 December 2026. The film reportedly pairs Verma with Suhana Khan.
The Indian Opinion
The ‘National Crush’ label is a familiar entertainment-media shortcut, while the poster story is harmless fan nostalgia, not evidence of a larger romantic narrative. Verma’s comments also fit the standard outsider-success storyline, but ambition alone does not explain a film career. The useful test is simple: whether King gives him a role audiences remember when it reaches theatres on 24 December 2026.
