New Delhi. Arjun Rampal, who is 51 years old, is often in the news for his personal life. Arjun, who became a father without marriage, was married to Mehr Jesia. Both had a love marriage in 1998. After 21 years, in 2019, Arjun and Mehr parted ways. Despite being married and the father of two daughters, he started dating model Gabriella Demetriades. Now, years after separating from Mehr Jessia, Arjun said that he was very young when he got married. Along with this, he admitted that he felt a deep emptiness after the divorce.
During a conversation on ‘The Ranveer Show’ podcast, Arjun Rampal shared the pain of his emptiness and loneliness. Now Arjun believes that even though divorce happens between two people, the journey is made by the whole family. He said, ‘Divorce is not easy for anyone and it hurts your children the most. In the beginning you feel that now you are free, but in the end you feel uncomfortable and lonely. You start missing your home. Especially home-cooked food.
Arjun further blames himself for the breakdown of his marriage. He says that it is human nature to blame someone else, to make excuses. But the meltdown is caused by something else. It happens because it wasn’t working, because you are sad and unhappy. And if you can’t look inward and try to find more happiness, then this is the time when it is going to break and shatter.
In the conversation, Arjun stressed on the importance of taking responsibility for your shortcomings in a relationship. He said, ‘It is important to close all your doors and windows, isolate yourself and introspect within yourself. That’s what I did. You realise that there were a lot of shortcomings within you. Yes! There were shortcomings from the other side as well. Ultimately, it is you who has to fix it. You need to heal and come back as a stronger person because you have a responsibility towards a lot of other people who are a part of this.’
Arjun Rampal says that he was young when he got married. He had no idea what was going to happen next. He said, ‘I got married when I was 24 years old. I think it is too early. You are so young at that time. You have a lot to learn and experience. First you have to become mature. Men mature later than women. It is true that we are fools. If you want to be successful in marriage, you have to wait. Arjun also said that he has also seen men of his age marrying their childhood girlfriends and they are living a happy married life today. However, Arjun believes that this is just a miracle.
