Here is good news for all the fans of Bollywood actor Arjun Rampal. According to reports, Rampal and his girlfriend Gabriella Demetriades have welcomed a baby boy. Actress and model Gabriella Demetriades gave birth to their first child on Wednesday night at Hinduja Hospital, Mumbai.
Nidhi Dutta, the daughter of veteran filmmaker JP Dutta, took to her Twitter handle to announce the good news. She wrote, "Congratulations @rampalarjun on the arrival of your bundle of joy! God bless!"
Arjun Rampal, who was most recently seen in JP Dutta's Paltan (2018), announced his girlfriend’s pregnancy in April. For the uninitiated, Rampal already has two daughters Myra and Mahikaa from his last marriage with model Mehr Jessia. After 20 years of marriage, the couple announced their separation on 28th May, 2018.
While announcing Gabriella’s pregnancy, Rampal confirmed that his daughters have accepted Gabriella as part of the family. "I must add that it was of prime importance that my daughters should accept her as a part of the family. I am blessed that they have, no questions asked," Rampal had said.
Talking about how he met Gabriella, Arjun had once said, "We met through common friends. So, what can I say? That she stalked me? Wishful thinking that, buddy! It's only been a year since we started dating and here we are.”
On the work front, Arjun Rampal is presently working on his next Hindi film titled Nastik. Directed by Shailesh Varma, the film revolves around the journey of an inspector and how a little kid changes his perspective of life.
