"It's a real honour and a wonderful feeling. It's a big one. It's a very emotional moment for everybody in my family. It was same for my friends and whole team of Rock On! as well," Rampal told IANS.

Asked about his wife Mehr Jesia's reaction, he said, " I won't tell you whether she cried or not, but definitely she became very, very emotional. The story of Rock On! is about five band stars as once-aspiring musicians who chucked up their dream of taking their band professional. But a chance reunion ten years later inspires them to consider returning for one last gig.

Farhan Akhtar, Arjun Rampal, Purab Kohli and Luke Kenny played the lead roles in the film. Rampal celebrated the occasion with the team of Rock on! at his house.

"We are going to party tonight at my house. We are going to start now, as a part of celebration," said Rampal. The actor, who has recently opened up a restro-bar named LAP Lounge And Party in Delhi as joint venture with Restaurateur A D Singh, is going to celebrate there too, very soon. "I am looking forward to celebrate in LAP soon," said Rampal.
