Arjun Rampal has officially announced his engagement to longtime girlfriend, Gabriella Demetriades. The actor, currently enjoying the success of his film "Dhurandhar," revealed the news during an appearance on Rhea Chakraborty's podcast, "Chapter 2". The couple has been together for six years and already share two sons, Arik, born in 2019, and Ariv, born in 2023.
During the podcast, Gabriella spoke about their relationship, and Arjun playfully interjected, "But we are engaged! We just broke it on your show," surprising the host. The couple's relationship began in 2018 after meeting through a mutual friend. Arjun candidly admitted that he initially pursued Gabriella because he thought she was "hot," but soon realized there was much more to her than just physical attraction.
Gabriella Demetriades, born on April 8, 1987, is a 38-year-old South African model, actress, and fashion designer. She owns the Deme Love fashion label.
On the podcast, Gabriella reflected on how parenthood reshaped her understanding of love, noting that it became less conditional and more about responsibility. Arjun echoed this sentiment, emphasizing the importance of family.
Arjun Rampal was previously married to Mehr Jesia, with whom he has two daughters, Mahikaa and Myra. They divorced after several years of marriage. Arjun has mentioned that he might have been too young when he first got married at the age of 24. Despite the separation, Arjun maintains a cordial relationship with Mehr, and their daughters share a warm bond with Gabriella.
"Dhurandhar," starring Arjun Rampal as Major Iqbal, was released on December 5 and is expected to cross Rs 300 crore at the box office.
