My wife is brutal in reviewing my films: Arjun Rampal

Actor says supermodel wife Mehr is “brutally honest,” awaits the release of his film Roy

MUMBAI: Actor Arjun Rampal has found a perfect partner in his supermodel wife Mehr, who gives him “brutally honest” feedback on his movies. Arjun, who is awaiting the release of Roy, which hits the theatres a day before Valentine’s Day, said, “Mehr is brutally honest sometimes...too brutal when it comes to reviewing [my] films.”

This is also why Arjun seeks her feedback. “When you make a film, you get so close to it that it’s like your baby and your perception comes to an end. It’s nice to get a fresh and new outlook to it,” he commented.

Arjun and Mehr were supermodels of their time. While Arjun ventured into Bollywood, Mehr kept away from the industry. But if their daughters Mahikaa and Myraa wish to step into daddy’s shoes, Arjun would offer them his full support.

“It’s their choice. I will not say ‘no’ because the film industry is a wonderful place. Acting is a wonderful profession, and if they want to do it, I will support them” he stated, adding that his daughters like to visit him on  film sets sometimes. “Both of them are quite intrigued by it. It feels good.”

Talking about his and Mehr’s relationship with their children, he said, “I don’t think either of us is strict. Today, we have to be friends with our children because, if you make an issue of something, then the children will do it. And if they start hiding things from you, things may get worse sometimes.”
