On Ranveer Allahbadia's podcast, Arjun Rampal said he came from a broken home. The actor added, "For me to not have succeeded in marriage was something that I really had to look back upon and see how did this go wrong and how did I not see... then I realised why it went wrong and what were the things, and I take responsibility for it."

Having said that, Arjun mentioned that he was 24 years old when he first got married and that he feels that it was too early. "You're too young, and there's a lot to learn and experience. You have to become mature. Guys mature far slower than women do. It's a proven fact that we are idiots," stated Arjun.
