Sufi Malik Cheated on Her Fiancee Anjali Chakra Weeks Before Their Wedding

Anjali Chakra and Sufi Malik, two New York-based influencers, have ended their five-year relationship, announcing the split in separate Instagram posts on March 24, 2024.

Malik cheated on Chakra a few weeks before their planned wedding, causing the couple to break up immediately. With an emoji of a broken heart, Chakra issued a statement on Instagram.

She wrote how she and her partner were blessed to share over five years of their relationships with their fans and followers. She wrote, “Sufi & I have been blessed to spend the last 5+ years together in a loving and beautiful partnership that we have been so honored to share with all of you.”

Chakra thanked for all the love and support the couple received throughout their relationship writing, “Since the beginning, your outpouring of love and support has played such a special part in our journey and we will continue to carry that love with us moving forward.”

She then broke the news, claiming that they had broken up and called off their wedding because Malik cheated on her. “This may come as a shock, but our journey is now shifting. We have decided to call off our wedding and end our relationship due to infidelity committed by Sufi,” she stated.

Despite whatever happened, she asked netizens not to hate Malik and to respect her decision. “As we close this chapter, I wish for absolutely no negativity to be shown towards Sufi and that you respect this difficult decision,” she added.

In the end, she pointed out that the relationship she and Malik had shared had been “so full of love and nothing short of magical,” which is why she chose to remember it that way.

Around the same time as Chakra, Malik also wrote a statement on Instagram, giving her side of the story regarding their break up. She confessed that she cheated on her partner weeks before their wedding and admitted that she had hurt Chakra a lot.

She wrote, “I made an unrecognizable mistake of betrayal by cheating on her a few weeks before our wedding. I’ve hurt her tremendously, beyond my own understanding.” Malik noted that she was owning up to her mistake and would continue to do so.

“I understand the gravity of the situation and can only ask relentlessly for forgiveness, from Anjali and Allah,” she continued.

Malik admitted that she had hurt a lot of people she loved and cared about, including her family, friends, and their fans and followers. In the end, she thanked everyone who supported them and asked for privacy and respect.

“Thank you so much to everyone who supported us all these years, we owe everything to you all. We ask you all for privacy and respect at this time,” she concluded.

Chakra and Malik’s relationship had been idolized by a lot. Chakra, a Hindu-Indian, and Malik, a Muslim-Pakistani, stood as a symbol of love for queer people in South Asia, especially India and Pakistan, where the LGBTQ community is stereotypically stigmatized.

Many netizens were heartbroken following Chakra and Malik’s statement, especially with the fact that the latter cheated on her fiancee. The duo started dating in 2018 after being connected seven years before when they had followed each other’s Tumblr blogs.

They met in New York in 2018 and started dating in soon after. Their first-anniversary post went viral, making both Chakra and Malik instant influencers.

In October 2022, Malik proposed to Chakra at the Empire State Building. Then, Chakra proposed back to her partner in August 2023.

The duo were planning for their wedding but now, their both plans as well as their relationship are over.
