Arjun had said, "It wasn’t planned. I was going through a really rough time. Then my mother passed away on October 27.

Revealing how the lockdown has come as a blessing in disguise for he gets to spend time with his little one, Arik Rampal and become a hands-on dad since the nanny went home, Arjun Rampal had said, "It’s been a blessing in terms of getting to spend time with the family. I had a packed calendar, but everything came to a halt with Covid-19. On the plus side, I’ve gotten to be with Arik in a way I wasn’t able to with Mahikaa and Myra because I was working non-stop. We’ve been really hands-on with Arik because we haven’t had much help since his nanny went home. We’ve been doing everything – taking care of him in shifts, waking up at night, changing diapers… So many diapers! Who knew a little kid could make so many poops in a day? But seriously, spending all this time with him has made me envious of mothers who get to do this full-time. I wish I could too."

The proud father has his daughters' names, Mahikaa and Myra tattooed on his right and left hand respectively.
