Ashish Vidyarthi opens up on his second wedding: ‘I want to travel with somebody’

Actor Ashish Vidyarthi, who married fashion entrepreneur Rupali Barua on May 25, took to social media and opened up on why he got married for the second time. He also shared that his relationship with his former wife Piloo Vidyarthi ended on an amicable note.

In a video, Vidyarthi said that everyone today has a different life and different understanding of life. He said, ‘Each of our lives is different. Each of us has different challenges, different backgrounds, education, and the way we think. Each of us has different professions. We are all from different social strata, different countries, religions, and beliefs, but one thing which is common is, all of us want to be happy.’

Talking about his ex-wife, Ashish said, ‘22 years back Piloo and I met and we got married. Well, it was an amazing one. We had Arth who is now 22, he is working. But somehow for the last few years, Piloo and I discovered that after this beautiful inning that we played together, we felt how we saw the future was slightly different from one another.’

The couple realised that ‘differences can be sorted out but it could be in a way that one of us will impose on the other and that will take away from the happiness. And happiness is what we all want, right?’

The actor says he always knew he wants to get married again because he wants 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. 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,’ the actor added.

Ashish Vidyarthi concluded the video by saying that we should ‘respect’ everyone’s life choices. ‘Let’s keep moving. Let’s respect how people are living their lives, each differently, but with the sole intention of fulfilling responsibilities and being happy,’ he concluded.

Earlier, Piloo Vidyarthi also opened up on her relationship with Ashish and said that her ex-husband never cheated on her and there was no ‘torture or hardships’.
