What's the story
When the nationwide lockdown was announced last month, Arjun Rampal was shooting for a movie in Karjat, a two-hour drive away from Mumbai.
However, the actor deliberately decided to stay in the lovely town, instead of hurrying back to Mumbai.
Now, he is really enjoying his stay there.
Arjun is staying with his girlfriend Gabriella Demetriades and their toddler son, Arik.
