Actor Arjun Rampal has opened up about what he describes as the darkest and loneliest period of his life. In a recent interview, the actor reflected on the emotional turmoil he faced while dealing with the breakdown of his marriage to former Miss India and supermodel Mehr Jesia. At the same time, he was also coping with his mother’s cancer diagnosis and the grief of losing loved ones. Looking back, Arjun shared how he found support during that difficult phase.
‘The Loneliest I Have Ever Felt’
Speaking to Sohini on Cancelled to Crown on YouTube, Arjun Rampal candidly spoke about feeling disconnected from himself during one of the toughest periods of his life. “I think the loneliest I have ever felt is when I was not connected with myself the way I am today. My marriage was not working out, and it’s sad because I think love is not constant. Everything in life is not constant,” Arjun said.
The actor described that period as perhaps “the darkest phase” of his life. He revealed that around the same time, his mother was battling cancer, and he was struggling with multiple personal losses. “I think that was maybe the darkest phase of my life because then it was exactly the time my mum had cancer and I was losing her. I was losing everybody 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,” he shared.

Arjun added, “So we both were in the storm, and we had to, as I said, weather it. But it’s good, we got to weather it together, and then the blessings came.”
