Mumbai: Actor Arjun Rampal has opened up about one of the most difficult periods of his life, revealing how personal losses, his mother’s cancer diagnosis, and the breakdown of his marriage left him feeling isolated and emotionally drained.
In a recent interview, Rampal described the phase as the “darkest” chapter of his life, saying he felt disconnected from himself while dealing with multiple challenges simultaneously.
The actor shared that his marriage was falling apart at a time when his mother was battling cancer. He had also lost his father a few years earlier and was struggling with the loss of close relationships and friendships.
Reflecting on the experience, Rampal said that people constantly evolve, and sometimes relationships do not grow in the same direction. He noted that the end of his marriage was painful but taught him valuable life lessons about change and acceptance.
Gabriella Became His Strongest Support
Rampal credited his partner, model and designer Gabriella Demetriades, for helping him navigate the difficult phase. The couple met in 2018 and have since built a family together, welcoming sons Arik and Ariv.
According to the actor, Gabriella became a strong anchor in his life during a period filled with uncertainty and emotional struggles. He said both of them faced personal challenges and were able to support each other through difficult times.
Importance of Self-Reflection
Speaking about overcoming adversity, Rampal emphasized the importance of accountability and self-introspection rather than blaming others for life’s setbacks.
