Now, in a recent interview, Arjun spoke about his relationship with his ladylove. The actor also revealed how he felt spending his quarantine time with his partner. Speaking to Pinkvilla, Arjun said, "I don't know how good the pandemic has been for us because I feel like I have been dating her for 18 years. No, she is a solid, solid girl. She reads a lot. She is a voracious reader. She reads about two books every week, and I think through the pandemic she must have read over 200 books. And really good books. So it has been wonderful".

"So her mind, her sense of style, fashion, fun, humour, all these things matter. We both are into fitness. She was a new mom and with not that much help around because of the pandemic so we had to be so hands-on. So it has been wonderful. She has been a tremendous support to me. I love to pick her brain, pull her leg," he added.

On November 26, Arjun and Gabriella celebrated the former's 48th birthday. The actor had a cake-cutting ceremony at his home. He gave a glimpse of his birthday festivities on his Instagram handle. In the picture, the Rock On actor is seen posing with his daughters and two more kids with several birthday cakes laid on the table. The next one has him and Gabriella in the frame. "Had a lovely day with my favourite people. Luckily don't feel 48, but then age is just a number (sic)", he wrote.

Arjun Rampal also shared a separate picture with son Arik. He captioned it, "And him (sic)". Take a look:

On the work front, Arjun was last seen in Nail Polish. He essayed the role of Sid Jaisingh, a high-profile defence lawyer. In a recent interview, Arjun had revealed that he was close to turning down director Bhargava Krishna's courtroom drama, Nail Polish. "Initially, I told the director that I wasn't sure whether I want to go to a set amid the pandemic, especially since I have a one-year-old [son Arik] at home. But he said, 'Just hear the script and take a call.' So, we had a narration over a Zoom call and when I saw his conviction in the script, I said yes," recounted Rampal. The film stars Arjun Rampal, Manav Kaul, Rajit Kapur and Anand Tiwari in pivotal roles.
