Actor Ashish Vidyarthi, 60, known for his performance in several Hindi, Tamil, Telugu, Bengali, and Malayalam movies, stunned people with the news of his second marriage. He married Assam-based fashion entrepreneur Rupali Barua in Kolkata on Thursday.

As the photos of his and Rupali’s wedding surfaced on social media, many wondered about Ashish’s first wife, Piloo Vidyarthi, aka Rajoshi Vidyarthi and when the two got separated. Now, Piloo has put all the speculations about her and Ashish’s relationship to an end. She has revealed that they had filed for a divorce petition in October last year and got separated in 2021. The couple was married for 22 years before going their separate ways and have a son together, Arth Vidyarthi.

Clarifying that the ‘interpretation’ of people of her relationship with Ashish is ‘false’, Piloo told Hindustan Times, “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.”

She further asserted that there was “no torture, hardship or anything as people are speculating” in her marriage. Piloo said it was just about two people wanting different things in their future. She added, “We are two different people. For two years, we tried to go our separate paths and now he is doing great in his career. I have been looking after a lot of backend things for the last five years. In my personal life, I have different needs now. I cannot fill the goal of Mrs Vidyarthi now.”

Piloo, who has been an actor herself, now wishes to build her own identity. “I have spent a very long time of my life as Shakuntala Barua’s daughter and Ashish Vidyarthi’s wife. Now the time has come that I want to walk my path alone. I want my own identity and just to be clear, it wasn’t like he has ever crushed my identity. I just realised that he is seeing a different future, I am seeing a different one” she concluded.

Ashish Vidyarthi, after tying the knot with Rupali told The Times of India, “At this stage of my life, getting married to Rupali is an extraordinary feeling. We had a court marriage in the morning, followed by a get-together in the evening.” Barua told the publication, “He is a beautiful human being and a great soul to be with.”
