National Award-winning actor Ashish Vidyarthi on Friday issued a statement regarding his second wedding to fashion entrepreneur Rupali Barua and also shed light on parting ways with his first wife Rajoshi Barua aka. Piloo. The popular actor, who is best known among Tamil cinema fans for his roles in films like Dhill, Ghilli, and Uthamaputhiran, to name a notable few, appeared in a video posted on his social media handles and gave an update on the recent developments in his life. Clarifying that he is not 60, but 57 years of age, Ashish started off by saying, "All of us want to be happy. So, about 22 years back, Piloo and I met and we got married, and it was a great one. We had Arth who is now is now 22, and he's working. But, for the last two years, after this beautiful phase, Piloo and I felt that how we saw the future was slightly different from one another. Yes, we tried our best to sort out the differences, but then we discovered that the differences can be sorted out but it would be in a way that one of us will impose on the other and that would take away the happiness. Happiness is all we want, right?"
In the video, Ashish further explained how he and Piloo arrived at the decision to part ways and said, "We both sat down together and talked about it and said that we will do it harmoniously. If we can't walk together harmoniously, let's walk separately but remain frank. And, that's what we did, with grace and a degree of ease, we parted ways. But, I had a firm belief that I want to get married because I want to travel with somebody. So, I literally got the word out in the universe." The actor then shared about how met his second wife Rupali Barua and decided to start a new life with her. He said, "I met Rupali Barua. We started chatting, then met a year back. We felt something interesting about each other and thought that we could be walking together as husband and wife. 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. Just wanted to let you know, let's keep moving with respect, how people are living their lives."
