Love story
Rampal and Demetriades have been together since 2018

Actor's perspective
What Rampal earlier said about marriage
Earlier, speaking to Ranveer Allahbadia on his YouTube channel, Rampal had shared his thoughts on why he and Demetriades hadn't married despite having two children.
He said, "What is marriage? A piece of paper...I think we are already married and there is no doubt in my mind about that."
"But, sometimes what that piece of paper can also do is change you. Because it's like you think it's permanent...it's a false notion in fact, but you are just legally bound."
Actor's statement
'For us, we are married to each other'
Rampal further said, "Whatever has happened between us was very organic. I don't want to speak much about it because I don't want to jinx it. I don't think I need to justify this to anybody. For us, this is beautiful."
"You should keep experiencing it for as long as you can. In both our minds, we are married to each other."
