Arjun Rampal reflects on his failed marriage with Mehr Jesia
Arjun Rampal recently appeared on The Ranveer Show Podcast and discussed various topics and one of them was his failed marriage with his ex-wife Mehr Jesia. He said that it was very difficult and was not easy.
Arjun added, "It’s not easy on anybody, including your children. It’s the most difficult for them. You don’t want that. I had come from a broken home, and for me to have not succeeded in marriage was really something that I had to look back on and understand why it went wrong. And I realized why it went wrong, and I take responsibility for it. Today, touchwood, we all are very close, we’re very loving towards each other, and we’ll always have our backs.”
Talking about how people often blame others when things go wrong, but the real issues come from feeling unhappy inside, the Om Shanti Om actor said that it is human nature to start passing the fault onto somebody else, making excuses, however, the meltdown has happened because of something else.
As per him, a relationship does not work when one is unhappy and can’t look inward. Arjun said that it’s not just one person’s fault when a relationship fails. He also advised taking time to reflect on one’s own mistakes and flaws.
“It’s important to shut all your doors and windows, isolate, and reflect within yourself. That’s what I did. You realize there were so many shortcomings within you. Yes, there were shortcomings from the other side, but finally, it is you who you have to fix. You need to heal and come back as a stronger person because you have a responsibility towards so many other people who are also a part of this,” he said.
