Arjun Rampal calls last five years 'sheer hell', relationship with girlfriend Gabriella 'for keeps'

Arjun Rampal hosted a baby shower for his pregnant girlfriend Gabriella Demetriades on Sunday. In pictures posted on social media, the two can be seen looking happy in each other’s presence as they spend time with friends who came to cheer for them. 

In a new interview, Arjun opened up on how he’s spent the last few years, meeting Gabriella and starting a new life together. He said, “It’s been sheer hell for the last five years but what doesn’t kill you makes you stronger, doesn’t it?” Arjun here is probably talking about losing his mother, Gwen to cancer last year.

On how he met with Gabriella, he said, “Ah, that’s a question to ask. We met through common friends. So, what can I say? That she stalked me? Wishful thinking that, buddy! It’s only been a year since we started dating and here we are. For keeps. And I must add that it was of prime importance that my daughters should accept her as part of the family. I’m blessed that they have, no questions asked.”

Arjun was previously married to former supermodel Mehr Jesia. He fathered two daughters with her, Maahika and Myra. The couple separated in 2018 after being together for 20 years.
