Actor Arjun Rampal made quite a splash with his portrayal of Major Iqbal in Aditya Dhar’s much-appreciated “Dhurandhar.”
Now enjoying the success of his latest release, Rampal chose to experience the spy thriller with some friends in Goa. The evening was capped off with a delightful dinner, creating a wholesome experience.
“Went with my GG’s (Goa Gangster’s) to watch #Dhurandhar A complete blast. Dinner post that at the charming #Tertullia with great hospitality, thank u for the delicious desserts. You spoilt us. #goavibes #dhurandhar #panaji,” he shared in an Instagram post.
Rampal also posted snippets from the fun get-together with his gang on social media, featuring group selfies from the cinema and glimpses of their dinner. Notably, even the dessert plate was creatively presented, with “Dhurandhar” written on it in chocolate.
For those unaware, Rampal was a model before making his foray into acting. In an exclusive conversation, he opened up about the challenges of transitioning from modelling to acting.
“When I transitioned from modelling to acting, it wasn’t smooth at all. Modelling trains you in a very specific environment; the camera sounds familiar, the commands are the same, and you condition yourself to react in a particular way,” he explained.
Reflecting on his first experience watching his rushes, he noted, “I remember watching my rushes for the first time from Moksha and feeling completely stiff. Acting demands the opposite of modelling; you have to forget the camera entirely and become the character. That shift took time. I’m grateful that people believed in me, gave me opportunities, and allowed me the space to grow. Those repeated chances made all the difference.”
Rampal made his acting debut with Rajiv Rai’s romantic film “Pyaar Ishq Aur Mohabbat” in 2001 and has since been part of several noteworthy projects.
