26th May 2023, Mumbai : Yesterday, well known actor Ashish Vidyarthi married for a second time. On Thursday, he married the businesswoman for the fashion industry Rupali Barua in Kolkata. Images from their private ceremony quickly went viral on social media. While Rupali, Ashish’s wife, wore a white Assamese saree with a golden border, Ashish was seen wearing a white and gold Mundu. Rajoshi Vidyarthi, also known as Piloo Vidyarthi, and Ashish previously wed. Rajoshi emphasised that she and Ashish filed for divorce in October of last year, and that it was fully mutual despite some stories about them that have been making the rounds on the Internet. Ashish Vidyarthi has since uploaded a video stating that his relationship with his ex-wife came to an end one day.
Ashish Vidyarthi is heard saying in the video that he put on Instagram on Friday that while everyone of us comes from different origins, educations, occupations, social strata, and nations, among other things, one thing that unites us all is the desire to be happy. Then he revealed that he and Piloo had been married for 22 years and had a son named Arth who is now 22 years old. Although Ashish and Piloo’s marriage was wonderful, they recently came to the realisation that their outlooks on the future were only marginally different.
While the conflicts can be resolved, according to Ashish, doing so would require one of them to force their solution on the other, which would lessen their satisfaction. Because of this, they made the decision to ‘walk apart but stay amicable.’
He said, “I had a firm belief that I want to get married because I want to travel with somebody. So, I literally get the word out in the universe. I was at that point 55 and I said I want somebody to get married to. And that’s how I met Rupali Barua. We got chatting, we met a year back and then we discovered something interesting about one another and we thought we could be walking together as husband and wife, and therefore, Rupali and I got married.”
Ashish Vidyarthi also cleared that his age isn’t 60, as is being reported. “She is 50 and I am 57, not 60, but age doesn’t matter my friend. Each one of us can be happy, whatever the age.” He then urged that people should respect everyone’s life choices.
Meanwhile, speaking to Hindustan Times, Rajoshi said, “I am going bonkers with the interpretation people are having about us. This is not fair. Ashish never cheated on me. Even if people are thinking that all he wanted was to get married again. This is completely a false narrative.”
