Arjun Rampal, currently enjoying the success of the Dhurandhar franchise, recently talked about one of the most challenging chapters of his personal life. In a conversation on the show Cancelled to Crown, he opened up about going through personal turmoil, including the breakdown of his marriage, the loss of close family members, and how he eventually found his way back to himself.
When asked about the loneliest period he has faced, Arjun clarified that it was not about being physically alone, but rather a lack of connection with himself. He said, “I think the loneliest I have ever felt is when I was not connected with myself the way I am today.”
Describing the difficulty of that time, Arjun explained, “My marriage was not working out and it’s sad because I think love is not constant. Everything in life is not constant. We are not constant, we are constantly changing and sometimes in that change one doesn’t grow or change well together.”
This period was further complicated by personal loss. He shared, “I think that was maybe the darkest phase of my life because at that point in time was exactly the time my mom had cancer and I was losing her. I was losing everybody who was close to me. I had lost my father three years before that. I was losing friends. I was losing everything that I had worked so hard to get.”
For Arjun, this experience made him shift toward deep introspection rather than looking for external answers. He explained, “When you lose everything, there’s only one thing that is left in front of you and that is pure introspection. You can’t do anything, you have to go back within yourself and understand what have you become, why has this happened, what are your faults.” He talked about the importance of taking accountability, saying, “You can’t blame. If you blame, you are going to become even more miserable because you are using that as a crutch to not introspect honestly. You’re victimising yourself. But you can’t do that.”
During this difficult time, Arjun credited his partner, Gabriella Demetriades, for providing essential support. He said, “I was very lucky because I got somebody like Gabriella into my life who I think was a very strong anchor and was also coming from a space of maybe a lot of darkness as well.” He added that they faced these challenges together, saying, “So we both were in the storm and we had to, like I said, weather it. But it’s good, we got to weather it together and then the blessings came.”
Talking about how his life has since transformed, Arjun mentioned the arrival of his son, Arik, as a major blessing. He said, “When the sun rose again, even though my mom passed, I got Arik. And that was great joy, was a blessing.” He concluded saying, “We had done a complete 180 change with us on our lives, of certain ways and creating habits.”
