You have to become mature. Guys mature far slower than women do."
Rampal opens up about divorce from Mehr Jesia
Rampal was married to Mehr Jesia for over two decades before their divorce in 2019.

Despite the divorce, Rampal continues to have a close relationship with Jesia and their two daughters, Myra and Mahikaa.

Rampal expressed that he feels already married to Demetriades despite not having officially tied the knot. He stated, "Marriage is just a piece of paper.
