Rampal and South African-born Demetriades, who live in Succoro village near Panaji, arrived at the office around 4 pm in casual attire. They were granted special permission by the Assistant Public Prosecutor to bypass the customary 15-day notice period between the required signatures. Their marriage certificate is expected to be issued within two weeks.
The wedding marks the culmination of a relationship that began in 2018. The couple publicly confirmed their engagement in December during an appearance on Rhea Chakraborty’s podcast. When Demetriades joked that they were not married but “who knows” what the future held, Rampal surprised her by announcing, “We are engaged.”
The couple are parents to two sons, Arik, born in 2019, and Ariv, born in 2023.
Rampal was previously married to former supermodel Mehr Jesia. Their marriage, which began in 1998, ended in 2019. The former couple share two daughters, Mahikaa and Myra, and have continued to co-parent them.
Demetriades has previously spoken warmly about her relationship with Rampal’s daughters, saying they had been supportive and that the family had consciously avoided putting any pressure on them as they adjusted to the changing family dynamic.
A model and fashion designer, Demetriades has maintained a relatively low-profile presence despite her long association with Rampal.
Rampal, meanwhile, continues to be active in films and has recently drawn attention for his performance as Major Iqbal in Aditya Dhar’s Dhurandhar.
The Goa wedding keeps with the couple’s preference for privacy, with no elaborate celebrity celebration or public spectacle reported around the marriage.
