The Struggles of Arjun Rampal at the Beginning of His Career in Bollywood, Rising After Being Helped by Shahrukh Khan

After his debut failure, Arjun Rampal felt increasingly downcast. Many of the films he starred in afterwards also did not yield the expected results. Some films like Dil Hai Tumhaara, Dil Ka Rishta, Tehzeeb, and Vaada also failed to attract the audience's attention. Even during these tough times, Arjun faced serious financial difficulties.

In an interview, Arjun recounted how he struggled to pay his rent. He lived in Andheri, Mumbai, and could not afford the rent. According to Arjun, his kind landlord, a Sardarji, would often come by every month and check on his condition. "He would look at me and I would look at him. He knew I had no money, but he still said, 'It's okay, you will pay later.'" The memory of the landlord's generosity made Arjun feel fortunate even in difficult circumstances.

Arjun's career only began to change after meeting Shahrukh Khan. In 2007, Arjun was given the opportunity to act in the film Om Shanti Om, directed by Farah Khan and starring SRK. Arjun's role in the film paved the way for greater success. After Om Shanti Om, he worked again with Shah Rukh Khan in the film Ra.One.

However, the peak of Arjun's career was achieved through the film Rock On!! in 2008. In that film, Arjun played the role of Joe, a rock musician, and his performance received critical acclaim. He even won the National Award for Best Supporting Actor for this role. The success of Rock On!! became a turning point in his career, ultimately leading to various other major projects.

On the personal life side, Arjun married model and former beauty queen, Mehr Jesia, in 1998. They have two daughters, Mahikaa and Myra, but after nearly two decades, their marriage ended in divorce. In 2018, Arjun announced that he was expecting his first child with his girlfriend, Gabriella Demetriades, who later gave birth to their son, Arik, in July 2019. In July 2023, they also welcomed their second child, another son.

Now, despite having gone through many obstacles in his career and personal life, Arjun Rampal continues to work in the film industry. He was recently seen in the film Crakk alongside Vidyut Jammwal and is currently working on a new project with Sanjay Dutt and Ranveer Singh. The success he has achieved now increasingly shows that Arjun has overcome various challenges early in his career and found his way to fame.
