Actor Arjun Rampal recently spoke about the loneliest and most difficult phase of his life, when he was going through a divorce from his first wife, former Miss India and supermodel Mehr Jesia, and was also dealing with his mother's battle with cancer.
'The loneliest I have ever felt'
Speaking to Sohini on Cancelled to Crown on YouTube, Arjun Rampal shared, "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. I think that was maybe the darkest phase of my life because at that point in time it was exactly the time my mum 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."
'Gabriella came as a very strong anchor'
Arjun shared that it was during this period that he met model and fashion designer Gabriella Demetriades, who became a strong anchor in his life. "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. 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," said Arjun.
