Bollywood actor Arjun Rampal has been on a continuous media trial over rumours of a rocky relationship with wife, Mehr Jessia. But the actor prefers not to react.

Arjun and Mehr, who have been married for over 15 years, have been caught in the midst of divorce rumours of late. In the past, Arjun slammed the media for bringing up his personal life but now he seems unaffected by it.

"I don't have any views, I feel people have more views than I do," Arjun told IANS when asked about his views on rumours revolving his personal life.

Arjun married Mehr, a supermodel of her time, in 1998. Together, they have two daughters.

Arjun walked the runway for European brand Buggati shoes, that's making its India foray through e-commerce platform Jabong.

Arjun unveiled the collection on the ramp in a classic pair of Bugatti shoes with his name inscribed on them.

He was even seen walking around the venue with Mehr, they both posed for shutterbugs and later even took a seat next to each other for designer Monisha Jaising's show, the last presentation of the fourth day of the fashion gala on Saturday.

Asked if Arjun, model-turned-actor, has ever thought about launching his own fashion line, he said: "Offers keep coming to me where people want (me) to do that. It can work out at some point in time, but right now my mind is not there.

"My mind is more in films, so I am focusing more towards that. I am not really focused towards creating a clothing line," said the actor.

Before stepping into Bollywood in 2001 with Pyaar Ishq Aur Mohabbat, Arjun was a hugely successful model. He says that the fashion ramp has given him everything and if his daughters would like to be a part of this world, he will support them.

"Modelling gave me a lot in my life. I never look down upon modelling as a profession. Whatever my daughters want to do, I'm fine with it. They can act, model, (indulge in) sports... as long as they are passionate towards it. They really need to love it and it should come from within," he said.
