Overview
- Arjun Rampal told Sohini on the YouTube show Cancelled to Crown on Tuesday that the loneliest time in his life came when his marriage was breaking down while his mother was battling cancer.
- He said that period followed the earlier death of his father and included the loss of friends and close ties, which left him feeling as if he was 'losing everything' he had built.
- Rampal credited Gabriella Demetriades with being a 'very strong anchor', noting they met in 2018 and that the couple have two sons (born in 2019 and 2023) and confirmed their engagement in December 2025.
- He described the experience as forcing 'pure introspection', taking accountability for personal flaws, and triggering a sustained change in outlook and daily habits.
- The interview arrives as Rampal rides renewed career momentum from the Dhurandhar films and may shape how media and audiences link his personal recovery to his public roles and upcoming projects.
