There were reports that it was because of the increasing closeness that the divorce happened. Later after dating for 3 years, she opened up about Shoaib and said, "It's not mandatory that every love marriage should work; it can have its issues like compatibility too. Breaking off any relationship is difficult, almost traumatic. That's exactly what happened with me. My parents supported me and Shoaib helped me pull through those difficult times. We were not dating then."

• Dipika has stood by Ibrahim in his good and bad times. In an interview, Shoaib revealed, "My father suffered a brain hemorrhage. Being the only son, I had to be there for my mother and sister while my father was recuperating. Dipika supported us emotionally." Even after a lot of speculations, they did not confess about their affair about which Dipika said, "I wanted to be sure that this relationship wasn't on the rebound. Also, we were getting to know each other better. No matter how progressive we become, being a divorcee has some kind of a social stigma attached to it in our society. I had that stamp on me. But he gave me that space and despite being aware of my past, never complained about it. He has in fact always respected that.
