Birthday Special: 'Om Shanti Om' Actor Arjun Rampal Turns 42 [PHOTOS]

Bollywood actor Arjun Rampal turns 42 on Wednesday, 26 November 2014.

The model-turned-actor made his acting debut in the romantic entertainer, "Pyaar Ishq Aur Mohabbat" (2001), for which he received many prestigious awards, including a nomination for the Best Male Debut Filmfare Award.

The actor, who hails from Madhya Pradesh, has also received awards for his performances in the films, "Dil Hai Tumhaara" (2002), "Dil Ka Rishta" (2003), "Asambhav" (2004), "Yakeen" (2005), "Don" (2006), "Om Shanti Om" (2007), "Rock on!" (2008), "Housefull (2010) and "Ra.One" (2011) among others.

The actor also received awards for Best Supporting Actor for the Abhishek Kapoor directorial "Rock On!". He will be next seen in the upcoming romantic action thriller, "Roy" and "Rock On 2".

Meanwhile, a leading daily recently published an article about the alleged overseas vacation of Sussanne Khan and Rampal, which caught quite a lot of media attention. The report claimed that Rampal's wife Mehr Jesia found out that her husband and her best friend Khan went abroad to spend quality time together.

However, clearing the air over the rumours, Rampal took to Twitter to express his anger on the news piece. "Bombay Times, who paid you? Who are these faceless accusers? If you have the guts reveal them first. Stay away from me and my family," he tweeted.

Both Arjun and Mehr have been supporting the Hrithik-Sussanne duo, ever since their troubled married life popped up, despite certain rumours of "Om Shanti Om" actor's involvement in the split.

He also thanked his fans and colleagues for their support and even referred to the leading daily as "toilet paper."

My dear friends,my family and I thank you for this overwhelming support.Yes it's time to put ones foot down to crap reporting. #toiletpaper — arjun rampal (@rampalarjun) November 25, 2014

However, it has to be recalled that the same daily was slammed last month by actress Deepika Padukone, following the "cleavage controversy" that irked the actress.
