Arjun Rampal and Gabriella Demetriades first reportedly met during an Indian Premier League after-party in 2009, which was much before he separated with his wife Mehr Jesia. They apparently reconnected later. Arjun and Gabriella have been spotted together at several media events and they frequently cross paths with the paparazzi after their outings.

Gabriella Demetriades is a South African model and she featured in 2014 film Sonali Cable. She recently told news agency IANS: "I did just one film. Honestly, I didn't love the experience in it. So, I didn't want to do another film. So, I made my way back into the fashion space because that is where I feel most comfortable."
Arjun Rampal was last seen in JP Dutta's Paltan while he's currently filming Nastik, co-starring Meera Chopra.
