Separations and divorces are not easy and takes a toll on the lives of individuals. Arjun Rampal and Mehr Jesia have been living separately for over a year and now the duo has been granted a divorce.
The most difficult part of a relationship is separation. When we start a relationship or a new phase in our life, we try to make everything joyful and cherished for our partner. But do we ever think about the times when we might have differences with our partner and what we are going to do to resolve them or what will be our next step? The answer is ‘no’. We try to give all the negative thoughts a back seat and focus only on the good parts of a relationship. The happy moments, cherished dates, fun outings, the casual strolls are all we try to remember and cherish in a relationship. When it comes to separation, most of the couples don’t take it in a positive way and wash their dirty linen in public.

As per a Bombay Times report, the statement of their separation could be read as “After a 20-year-long beautiful journey filled with love and beautiful memories, we would like to share, that all journeys have different paths. We feel that it is time for us to move on to different destinations henceforth. We have always been solid when it has come to us, we will continue to be solid for each other and our loved ones, as we embark upon a new journey...Both of us being extremely private people feel strange to be making this statement, but such are the circumstances of our lives. Where the truth can get distorted and lost. We are a family, our love for each other is forever intact and we shall always be there for one another and most importantly, for our children Mahikaa and Myra. We would therefore appreciate our privacy through this time. Thank all for their support. Relationships can end, but love lives on. We won’t be commenting on this any further.”

Mehr Jesia, Mahikaa Rampal and Myra Rampal had taken the news of their father, Arjun Rampal and Gabriella's soon-to-be-parents status sportingly. A SpotboyE report had stated, “The couple did their best to keep the pregnancy under wraps for the last six months. It turns out that several of their friends were kept in the dark too, including Mehr Jesia, Rampal’s wife of 20 years and mum to their two daughters, Mahikaa, 17, and Myra, 13. Mehr has in fact taken the news rather sportingly. Her friends say that even though they haven’t filed for divorce yet, Mehr has come to terms with the fact that Rampal has moved on personally.” (Do Read: Angad Bedi Shares Pictures Of His Daughter, Mehr's First Birthday Celebrations At Golden Temple)
