In a society still shaped by conventional ideas of marriage and family, Arjun Rampal and Gabriella Demetriades have quietly built a relationship on their own terms. Together since 2018 and parents to two sons, Arik and Ariv, the couple have come to represent a modern blended family — grounded in companionship, commitment and co-parenting, without feeling bound by traditional timelines.

In December 2025, Arjun surprised many when he casually revealed on a podcast that the couple was officially engaged. Asked about the development, the actor smiled and said, “One step at a time.”

Arjun recently also found himself at the centre of a viral social media moment after videos of him playing DJ at a Gurugram nightclub surfaced online. While many praised his effortless stage presence and passion for music, others questioned whether he was genuinely trained as a DJ or if it was simply a publicity-driven appearance.

Clearing the air, Arjun said, “Oh Lord! I’ve actually been spinning music since the age of 17, so this is definitely not something new for me. Music, especially electronic music, has always been a huge passion in my life. I’ve had my own decks at home for years and I genuinely enjoy the whole culture around it. In fact, I even had a nightclub at one point that was dedicated entirely to that kind of music. Over the years, I’ve had a lot of close DJ friends, and I’ve learned so much from them. What started as something I enjoyed privately slowly became more public, because people who had heard me play began inviting me to perform at places. From there, it all just grew organically.”

He added, “There’s this entire community and cult following around electronic music, and people who connect with that vibe started showing up and supporting me. It just snowballed from there. Honestly, I really enjoy doing it. Right now, I’m trying to do as many gigs as I can because once I get fully back into my film commitments, I won’t really have the time to perform as a DJ.”

On the work front, Arjun has been receiving considerable attention following the success of Dhurandhar. Ask him whether the reaction to film has altered the way he now approaches scripts and projects, and the actor insists success alone cannot dictate creative decisions.

He said, “When we were making Dhurandhar, none of us knew what the outcome was going to be. All you can do as an actor is give absolutely everything you have to a film and hope that you’re surrounded by a team that shares the same passion and commitment.”
