Veteran actor Arjun Rampal candidly discusses his past divorce
Bollywood actor Arjun Rampal, known for his versatile roles over decades, recently opened up about his divorce from wife Mehr Jesia in an engaging podcast interview. The couple who tied the knot in 1998 went through a separation in 2019 after over 20 years of marriage.
Speaking with utmost honesty, Arjun acknowledged being too young when he got married at just 24 years of age. He feels one needs more life experiences before committing permanently. The adjustment post divorce wasn’t easy for him as the stability of a relationship was missed. Feeling lonely took some time to get used to.
Arjun emphasized the need for self-reflection during difficult phases. Rather than blaming others, one must look within to understand shortcomings and seek solutions. For him, isolation proved helpful to ponder over relationship mistakes from both sides. This healing process made him a stronger person with more accountability towards his family.
The actor expressed divorces should occur respectfully while salvaging the deep bond initially shared. In his case, staying connected to his ex-wife and two daughters through love aided the transition. Despite facing challenges as children of a broken home himself, he’s thankful for maintaining a close-knit family unit today.
Legal separation didn’t impact the genuine emotions and care felt for each other over two decades according to Arjun. His current relationship with partner Gabriella Demetriades also sees mutual understanding with his ex-wife. Overall, the interview offered thoughtful relationship advice through Arjun’s personal journey of growth amid life’s ups and downs.
