Muzammil Ibrahim's Statement
In a statement shared on Instagram, Muzammil wrote, "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."
He further added, "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. - Muzammil Ibrahim."

I never regret leaving anyone. Plus, I was a star at that time; she was not. She was a model, but I had already become an actor."
