Bollywood actor Arjun Rampal, who is still riding high on the success of his film Rock On!, was spotted having a jolly time swinging and playing with his two daughters while on his way for the International Indian Film Academy (IIFA) weekend and awards here.

While his elder daughter Mahika (7) jumped all around him, he gave his four-year-old kid Myra a nice swing in his arms.

Even wife, former supermodel Mehr Jessia, joined in the fun as other actors looked on.

Most people would've gone crazy if they had been shuttling between work, moving into a new house in Mumbai and opening a restaurant in Delhi. But Arjun Rampal is just plain happy. "This is indeed one of the best phases of my life,” he said. “Everything seems perfect—we moved into our new house, a penthouse in Bandra, early this week. We're both decorating our house the way we want and at the pace we enjoy."

And his restaurant, Lap—which is opening its doors in posh Malcha Marg—has him smiling even more. Sandeep Khosla, of the famed Abu-Sandeep duo, is designing the restaurant—a collaboration with restaurateur A D Singh.

Arjun Rampal is keen to make a film based on the life of his maternal grandfather Brigadier Gurdayal Singh who designed the first artillery gun for the Indian army post-independence; one that is still being used today.

The actor, who turned producer with I See You (2006) says, "Both my paternal and maternal grandfathers were in the army but my maternal grandfather Brigadier Gurdayal Singh designed the first artillery gun for the Indian army post-independence.

It's light artillery, long-range gun which one can easily take and airdrop or carry up into the mountains. Though grandfather had not studied engineering, he had a very intelligent mind and worked on the design with lots of engineers.

The beverage ad which Arjun Rampal shot for with Nicole Kidman, has him play Prince Charming. After charming Nicole, now Arjun is all set to work his magic on the beautiful people at Cannes, thanks to the brand he endorses.

The beveage folks are eager that Arjun be present at the Cannes Film Festival where the full commercial will be released.

As a result, they've made special arrangements for the actor to travel to the French Riviera. He will fly from Paris to Cannes in a specially chartered flight and will be put up at the company's luxury villa. Arjun will walk the red carpet along with Hollywood folk.

Spending your best summer time in the Caribbean islands and being disturbed every five minutes is not what you'd be ideally looking forward to. But Arjun Rampal is.

The actor who is currently spending quality time out with his family in the scenic Caribbean is on cloud nine after his mobile being inundated with multiple text messages from his friends and well wishers congratulating him on his latest Schweppes commercial that he shot with Nicole Kidman.

Speaking exclusively to us from the Caribbean islands, Arjun comments on the scene where Nicole Kidman walks towards him unzipping her dress.

Arjun Rampal flew off to the Caribbean islands last night. As reported Rampal has gone there to attend his cousin's marriage on the St Peter's island.

Can't risk it

But as planned earlier, his daughters Mahikaa and Myra didn't accompany the actor and his wife Mehr Jesia. Because of the swine flu epidemic, the actor left his tots behind with their grandparents. He didn't want to risk the health of his precious girls.

Kids more susceptible

A source close to the actor reveals, "Arjun was quite excited about the trip as it was going to be a big family reunion with his sisters, and mom were joining in as well. He'd gotten visas done for both his daughters too but at the last minute he decided not to take his girls, as they would be halting at New York and children are more susceptible to illnesses."
