Arjun Rampal recalls marrying at 24; thinks 'guys mature far slower than women do'

As a lifestyle expert reflecting on Arjun Rampal’s life experiences, I can’t help but admire his maturity and wisdom that has come with age. Marrying at 24 might have seemed like the right decision back then, but as we grow older, we realize that sometimes, patience and growth are essential ingredients for a successful marriage. Arjun’s candid confession about men maturing slower than women is both amusing and insightful, making me chuckle a little.


As a reflective individual, I find myself looking back on my past, specifically my marriage at the tender age of 24 to Mehr Jesia, which was sealed by Arjun Rampal. In a recent conversation with Ranveer Allahbadia, I shared insights about the repercussions of marrying so young and emphasized my desire to avoid repeating that error with my beloved, Gabriella Demetriades.

Arjun Rampal on marrying young

From 1998 until 2019, Arjun was in a relationship with Mehr and together they had two girls named Mahikaa and Myra. Reflecting on his past, Rampal advised, “I believe it’s too soon; you’re too young, and there are numerous things to learn and experience. You must grow up. Men mature at a slower pace than women do. It’s a well-established truth that we can be foolish. If you aim for success in marriage, you should wait a while.”

The actor from Om Shanti Om believes that a man who marries his childhood sweetheart and achieves a thriving relationship can be considered as experiencing nothing short of a ‘remarkable’ or ‘extraordinary’ event.

Arjun Rampal says divorce with Mehr Jesia was quite difficult

51-year-old Arjun reflected on his divorce experience during their conversation, remarking that it wasn’t a walk in the park for anyone. However, he emphasized that it was particularly challenging for the children. Arjun went on to describe the separation as initially offering a sense of liberation, but eventually becoming filled with feelings of discomfort and loneliness. He further noted that you might find yourself yearning for home.

In his own words, Rampal acknowledged that growing up in a fractured family environment, he had been prepared to handle similar predicaments. Upon doing so, he stated, “I understood why things turned out the way they did, and identified what factors were at play. I accept accountability for my role in it.”

When will Arjun Rampal marry Gabriella Demetriades?

When questioned about his wedding plans, Arjun expressed that he and Gabriella consider themselves married already, stating that a marriage certificate is merely a formal document, and there’s no question of it in his mind.
