Karma and Ammar quickly became famous on season 1 of Netflix’s Love is Blind Habibi. The pair formed an instant connection in the pods, becoming the first couple to get engaged on the show.
However, despite their seemingly strong start, their relationship faced numerous challenges, leading them to part ways before making it to the altar.
The central issue in their breakup stemmed from a significant clash over personal values and career choices. Ammar’s discomfort with Karma’s passion for belly dancing became a major point of contention between the two.
While Love is Blind Habibi allowed them to connect emotionally in the pods, the real-world differences ultimately became too much for them to overcome.
Exploring what happened on Love is Blind Habibi
Karma and Ammar's romance started strong on Love is Blind Habibi. The pods, a key feature of the show, provided them with the opportunity to bond over shared interests and humor without ever seeing each other face-to-face.
She spoke highly of his heart and personality, saying:
“What I like most about Ammar is his sense of humor. He made me laugh so much during our date. He has a beautiful heart.”
Ammar even won Karma over by singing to her during their conversations. Their connection was solidified when they sang a love song together, with Karma famously saying:
“Are you the man of my dreams?”
Shortly after, they were the first couple to get engaged.
However, once they left the pods and started their journey in the real world, their relationship began to have some problems.
In particular, Ammar expressed discomfort with Karma's choice of profession as a belly dancer, an integral part of her identity and life.
This conflict came to a head during their vacation together, when Ammar voiced his frustration over Karma's commitment to their relationship, especially regarding her dancing career. In one episode, he told Karma:
"I told you the first day we met that it's a big 'X' for me. And I don't think that any man would accept it."
Karma, in return, stood firm in her belief that dancing was a core part of who she was and that she couldn’t give it up for anyone, including Ammar:
“Every person in the world has their own identity. It's what makes them who they are. They sometimes have to sacrifice a relationship for something important,” Karma said.
The aftermath of their split
Following their breakup on Love is Blind Habibi, both Karma and Ammar went their separate ways. Neither has spoken publicly about rekindling their relationship, and both appear to be living their single lives.
On social media, Ammar has returned to focusing on his dentistry work, while Karma continues to travel and pursue her passion for dancing.
Their social media profiles reflect their individual journeys, with no signs of reconciliation on the horizon.
Their breakup was a difficult decision for both, but Karma remained resolute in her choice. In one of her final confessional interviews on the show, she reflected on the importance of staying true to herself:
“It's important for a person to be true to themselves, and love would come for them no matter what.”
Fans who followed their journey can still watch their story unfold as all episodes of Love is Blind Habibi are now streaming on Netflix.
Despite the couple’s strong initial connection, their differences ultimately proved too significant, and they made the decision to end their engagement before reaching the altar.
