The residents of his building are upset with Rampal for robbing them of their daily fitness fix
Arjun Rampal, who is known for his love for fitness, remodelled an
existing gym on the ground floor of his building into a modern one with
state-of-the-art equipment. He did this a few months ago, at his own
expense. The actor welcomed everyone staying in the building complex to
use the facility. But now the honeymoon’s over. Following a tiff with
the residents, Arjun has carted out his equipment and the gym is empty
and no longer functional.
The problem began when Arjun asked people not to use the gym at the same time as him.
This didn’t go down well with the residents because while he did pay for the gym, it is a public area and they didn’t take kindly to the actor dictating terms or timings.
Says a source, “Before Arjun made the state-of-the-art gym, there was a gym of sorts on the ground floor. It had some basic workout equipment like treadmills and weights. When Arjun moved into the building a few years ago, he found the facility too basic and he scaled it up, to suit his fitness standard.
He was also able to avoid going out every day to a private gym. Also, it would afford him the advantage of working out at any hour, according to his convenience. He’d opened the gym to the other residents of the building and told everyone that he felt happy to see youngsters and children hitting the gym.”
Reveals a source, “But Arjun hadn’t thought this through. He didn’t expect the residents to work out at the same time as him. To be fair, he wanted some privacy while working out but he was troubled by people taking pictures of him on their cellphones, and autograph hunters. He began to get distracted.
At the residents meetings he requested the members to refrain from working out during his timings. He assumed that they would pay heed to his suggestion. When he realised that they had no intention of doing so, in a fit of rage, Arjun had all the equipment he’d paid for, packed and parcelled off to an unknown destination, without informing or giving any notice to anybody.”
Now while the residents cannot complain about that, they have a valid complain: Give us back the previous equipment which was in the gym. But Arjun had gotten rid of that, which means he will have to buy some standard equipment for the gym, which he is not willing to do, as he feels he has already spent a lot of money.
