Happy Birthday: Arjun Rampal
Stunning supermodel turned struggling actor turned super hot rock star. We trace Arjun Rampal's Bollywood journey as he turns 36 on November 26.
Perfect, chiseled features, long dark tresses, a manly voice and a tall, lean frame make Arjun Rampal the quintessential Mills and Boon hero who is tall, dark and handsome. Discovered at a Delhi disco by enfant terrible Rohit Bal who made him his protg, Arjun has modelled all over the world. After setting fashion ramps on fire, he turned his intense gaze to Bollywood. His debut film, Pyaar, Ishq aur Mohabbat, flopped but women couldn't stop gushing over Bollywood's new entrant. He won several best debut awards. His performances in Aankhen and Ek Ajnabee were competent as he held his own opposite stalwart Big B. The movies were fairly successful at the BO and the title track of Ek Ajnabee was a huge hit especially because of a tattooed Arjun looking absolutely delectable in the video. Arjun's sex appeal couldn't save Yakeen, Elaan, Asambhav, Vaada or Dil Hai Tumhara from sinking at the BO.In 2006, He set up his own production house with wife Mehr Jessia called Chasing Ganesha Films. No one saw their maiden venture I See You which starred Arjun and had cameos by SRK and Hrithik. Arjun's supporting roles in Kabhi Alvida Na kehna and Don marked the beginning of the success of his career as both movies were big hits and working with SRK, Karan Johar and Farhan Akhtar pushed him into the big league. 2007 was the year of smash success Om Shanti Om. Arjun was sufficiently slimy and fabulous as unscrupulous producer Mukesh Mehra aka Mike. He deservedly won several awards for his negative turn. If only all villains could be as good looking as him…
2008 was another big year for Rampal's career. Runaway hit Rock On thrust him into the A list bracket and heralded the arrival of Arjun the intense actor. He shared some crackling chemistry with buddy Farhan Akhtar in the film and looked every inch the rockstar that he portrayed. No woman in the audience could take her eyes off him in the movie, especially in the climax scene with his long hair and guitar.
He has been touring all over the country with the Rock On cast and strums all the right notes on the guitar.
EMI didn't do well at the Bo but Arjun was as delectable as dark chocolate in the film and perfectly portrayed bad boy DJ Ryan.
He also won accolades for his restrained turn in festival favourite The Last Lear. His presence has helped up the TRPs of Nach Baliye 4 which he co-judges with Farah Khan and Karisma Kapoor.
On the personal front, he has two daughters Maahika and Myra with wife Mehr. Residing on Bandstand, Bandra he is good friends with neighbours Farhan Akhtar and Shah Rukh Khan. Their children even attend the same school. He was recently voted 'sexiest dad' by a glossy and he deserves it.
He plans to open a chain of nightclubs called LAP (Lounge and Party) across the country.
Arjun will be seen in Fox, The legend of Kunal and Rajneeti next.
We wish him a very happy birthday and many more joyful years to come.
