You’re in a different space, she’s in a different space. That’s… You’re talking about 20 years ago. I don’t regret leaving her. I never regret leaving anyone. I’m a tough guy. I mean, I was a star at the time. She wasn’t. She was a model. I had become an actor, everything. Later, now he’s a superstar.”Muzammil suggested that they were both focused on building their careers at the time, while their friendship eventually turned into a relationship.
