Arjun Rampal turned DJ

Actor Arjun Rampal brought in his 38th birthday in style - he turned DJ at his club LAP in Samrat Hotel in the capital.

The actor, who was here with his wife Mehr Jessia, invited a host of celebrities, including superstar Hrithik Roshan, for his birthday Friday.

Hrithik’s wife Sussanne posted on Twitter: ’In the capital H (Hrithik) and me to celebrate Arjun’s birthday. Had an outstanding time last night in LAP! Thank you Mehr and Arjun. Happy happiest year ahead!’

Actor Jacky Bhagnani too enjoyed the bash.

’Had a blast last night at LAP in Delhi for Arjun Rampal’s birthday. It was a blast. Arjun is a brilliant DJ. He was playing like a pro. Thank you Arjun and Mehr for a brilliant party,’ he posted on the micro-blogging website.

Arjun Rampal talks about 26/11 incident

That his birthdate ‘26/11’ now also happens to be a painful reminder for the city of the terror attacks that rocked the nation in 2008 continues to be something that actor Arjun Rampal’s acutely aware of.
There’s no denying that the date does weigh heavy at the back of Rampal’s mind, but the actor clarifies that it’s the same as every Mumbaiikar.
“The terror attacks were devastating, no matter what the date. Had it happened on any other date, it would still have been an equally tight slap on the face of humanity,” he says. And though the actor admits that ‘moving on’ is hardly easy considering the lives lost, ‘life does go on’!
“For me it’s always going to be a reminder of why we need to respect and treasure humanity. I also pray for the innocent victims who’ve lost their lives. Whether we admit it or not, life’s not been the same. I think the ones left behind, including those who were watching it on their TV sets thousands of miles away, now value what they have more.”
There were rumours of him having a close call that year on the day, but Rampal dismisses it all insisting that it’s something that he’d rather not talk about. “Too much has been lost for anything to be said,” he feels.
Bringing in his birthday on a positive note, Rampal will be in Delhi with family and his set of close friends at his nightclub. It’s been a good year for the actor as he’s seen recent successes at the box office with films like Rajneeti and Housefull.
“I will be planning the weekend in Delhi, before I fly off to Dubai next week,” he reveals about his birthday plans.
Personally, Rampal’s on a high and work-wise too it couldn’t have been better. As for his birthday wish, “Well, I’m just thankful to God for whatever I have been blessed with,” he signs off.

Arjun Rampal has come up with different weapon

Hot and handsome Arjun Rampal has come up with another weapon to woo his female fan following. Joining the band wagon of the likes of Amitabh Bachchan, Shah Rukh Khan and Shilpa Shetty, Rampal too is all set to become one of those actors who have launched their own perfume line.
The perfume to be launched next month is aptly title ‘Alive’ and is an evening perfume exclusively for women designed by a French company. Arjun has quite a reason to be very apprehensive about the success of the brand as he has taken keen and active interest, involvement and participation in the making of the perfume as well as the selection of the fragrance. He met the company’s executives when he was in Europe last month.

If any of the girls are still not convinced, Arjun takes an additional effort by wooing them with his perfectly toned body as he goes bare-chested for the ad shoot of the perfume. What more could you ask for, girls???

Arjun says about the Kajol

Did you feel sidelined with two women on the sets of We are Family?
No, I just felt I was like a ping pong ball. Kajol came to sets, made you cry without glycerine and then went back to her book. Kareena and I are foodies so after every shot we would discuss where to have
dinner.

QDid you get along well with Kajol and Kareena?
Doing emotional scenes with Kajol is really special and I have got quite a few of them! Kareena is in great form. This is not an easy film to act in, as you have two strong performances given by Julia Roberts and Susan Sarandon in the original, but it is amazing to see how Kajol and Kareena bring their own something to the characters.

Q What was it like to play a father onscreen?
It was very easy as I am a father myself. Similarly, Kajol is a mother and I have seen her with her daughter, Nysa - very hands on and protective. She’s also the same in the film. Kareena was perfect casting; she is brilliant with kids. I love children. I think they bring a beautiful energy to the sets. All the three kids in the film were amazing. They knew their lines and did not talk in a sing-song style which can be very irritating.

QAt home, how easy is it to handle your kids?
At home I’m the good cop and my wife, Mehr is the bad cop. Whatever my kids ask from me, they get it.

QWhat does family and marriage mean to you?
I have a very glamorous woman as my wife. I come from a broken home so I work harder on my marriage. I have a very nice family and I don’t want to rock the boat.
Family to me is about the ability to give unconditional love and stand by each other in good and bad times. It is about looking after each other, being sensitive and telling the truth. If my wife lies to me about liking my film, I would feel bad. Also, one should be able to accept the truth.

Arjun Rampal talk about Kajol

Ever since Arjun Rampal has completed shooting for Karan Johar’s We Are Family, the actor has not stopped gushing about his co-stars Kajol and Kareena.

“I had a great time shooting with them. Kajol likes it when you don’t invade her space and respect it. But otherwise she is a lot of fun. She is a brilliant actress and a personal favourite among all my female co-stars. She is so good that your eyes well up with tears when she is emoting on screen. She is phenomenal and so is Kareena,” says Arjun.

Despite being sandwiched between two phenomenal actresses, Arjun has managed to hold his own in the movie. “It’s not easy but then I have managed to stand apart amongst five talented actors in Rajneeti. However, yes I have to work hard to be noticed in any film, not just this one. These days there are very few solo hero films. The film is the star today. Even if you put in individual efforts, if the film is not right, it is bound to fail. No one comes to see me as an individual actor; it is the team effort that works. Any role isn’t just about negative or positive emotions because there is good and bad in all of us. Thanks to the media, today the audiences know that you do not necessarily have to have an image,” adding, “By the way I am the solo male lead in this film.”

While he is busy romancing the ladies in We Are Family, the actor is looking forward to Shah Rukh Khan’s Ra One. “It is the most physically challenging role that I have ever played. It is a look-oriented role. It is an ambitious film, which will remind you of the erstwhile superhero films. I can’t reveal more than that,” he concludes.
