Exclusive: Arjun Rampal and Gabriella on considering getting married for society: Don’t need validation
Arjun Rampal has been dating Gabriella Demetriades for around three years and they also have a son together.
Itâs been a while since Arjun Rampal made his relationship official with Gabriella Demetriades. The couple has been dating each other for a while and has been in a live-in relationship. This isnât all. Arjun and Gabriella also have a son together named Arik and their relationship often grab the eyeballs especially for the fact that live in relationships are still a new culture in India. However, in an exclusive conversation with Pinkvilla, Arjun and Gabriella, stated that they doesnât need any validation.
When quizzed about considering taking the plunge just for the societal pressure, Arjun said, âHumari shaadi to ho gyi hai na. Dil Dil se mil gaye hain aur kya. Aur kya chahiye? (We are already married. Our hearts have connected. What more do you need?) You need a piece of paper to validate it? I donât think so and even she doesnât. She (Gabriella) is the one who is not at all into marriageâ. On the other hand, Gabriella emphasised that while marriage is a beautiful thing, it is not necessary that everyone should be doing it. She stated that it is a matter of personal choice.
Gabriella said, âI think itâs a very beautiful thing. I think itâs great for everybody that wants to do it but I donât think everybody has to do it like anything in life. We can be together and live together for longer than a married couple and does that make us any less of a couple? No. And there are many people, who canât get married for whatever reasons and does that make their love any more or less significant? I donât think so. I think for us itâs like, we are very solid and we are very protected in our love and we donât need any more validation than that. But you know otherwise, I think itâs a choice. Itâs not even a big deal. We still live together, we are a family and I think the most important part is the familyâ.
For the uninitiated, Arjun and Gabriella had met each other through common friends in 2018 and hit out instantly. In fact, ever since the couple has made their relationship official, their social media has been a complete mush fest.
