    190424 arjun rampal
    Arjun Rampal: The Bollywood actor is stranded in a picturesque hill station, Kajrat, in Maharashtra and he is loving every minute of it. He’s there with Gabrielle Demetriades and his nine-month old son Arik. Rampal took to Instagram to talk about his self-quarantine. “I thought it would be better to operate from here instead of travel at this point. I have a house here, so it worked out well … We decided to stay back for my son’s safety. While he is too young now, this will be a story to tell him when he grows older. Besides, Mumbai is just a few hours away, and hence, easily accessible in case of an emergency,” said Rampal. Image Credit: Instagram

    Sanjay Dutt with his wife Maanayata and 9-year-old twins Shahraan and Iqra
    Sanjay Dutt’s wife Maanyata Dutt and twins: Actor Sanjay Dutt is in Mumbai, but his wife and twins are currently in Dubai. In an interview with an Indian daily, Dutt revealed that he was missing his wife and children. “For me, they are everything. Thanks to technology, I can see and talk to them multiple times in a day, and yet, I miss them terribly. These times teach you about the fragility of life, and the value of moments spent with your loved ones. We should count our blessings, and never take them for granted. Although I have them virtually with me, there is a difference. As a father and husband, I am worried about their safety, even though I know that they are fine,” said Dutt in that interview with Times Of India. Image Credit: Insta/duttsanjay
