Arjun Rampal: ‘If I have to look extremely good, then my go-to is Gabriella’

Arjun Rampal added that "fashion is inherently you and what you are comfortable in". And, for the actor, "comfort and casual" are his style

Arjun Rampal’s Instagram bio may just read “actor”, but he is more than that. The Rock On!! star is also a bona fide style icon, a fitness enthusiast, and a doting father to four lovely children. Ask him how he is managing that, and he confesses that fatherhood is something he has become a pro at! Most recently seen in Crakk – Jeethegaa Toh Jiyegaa!, Arjun Rampal credits his love and passion for his craft, along with the zest to take on newer challenges, for always being motivated to work hard.

Talking more about his career, his body of work, and of course, his style mantra, along with his fitness routine, Arjun Rampal opened up to indianexpress.com at the launch of Longitude77. Read the edited excerpts below:

You have been a part of the film industry for over two decades. Looking back, how would you describe your journey?

My love and passion for acting have motivated my career. Also, I seek challenges and new experiences. I have built a great body of work in the last three years that I am very proud of — because of how much I have invested in those films. And, they are all different genres, so they are not typecasting me into a particular role. I want to continue increasing my body of work to leave behind a plethora of films that people can go back and refer to even when I am not around, which would have them say that those were some excellent films. I think that has and will continue to motivate me.

Besides your dashing screen presence, you have also always set major fitness goals. What does your exercise routine look like?

My favorite go-to exercise is running, and I run around 10-15 km. When I am running, I am just in sync with myself. It’s a great time of solitude for me.

Maintaining a good physique, however, also requires eating healthy and clean. As such, are you also extremely strict regarding your diet?

I am a big foodie so I stick to a diet plan that consists of about 40 per cent protein, 30 per cent of good carbs, complex carbs, and 30 per cent of good fats, as all of these are very important.

You are a dad to four beautiful children. What is the biggest lesson parenting has taught you? Has it also changed you in any way?

Honestly, fatherhood comes very naturally to me. I am a pro at it now!

Arjun, we are also a big fan of your sleek style. What is your fashion mantra?

I think fashion is inherently you and what you are comfortable in. And for me, comfort and casual are my style. If I have to look extremely good, then my go-to is Gabriella (Demetriades).

If not an actor, you would have been…

I would have been very unhappy!

Gosh, I wish you were as wise as I am today.

Five things you do not step out of the house without.

Five things I do not step out without are – my mobile phone, my wallet, my sunglasses, my cap, and my car keys.
