Ashish Vidyarthi on his second wedding at 57, says he always wanted to get married after divorce: ‘I want to travel with somebody’

The actor shared that his relationship with his wife of 22 years, Piloo Vidyarthi, was strained for the last couple of years, after which they decided to part ways. “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,” Vidyarthi said in the video.

While the couple tried to sort out their differences, they 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?”

So, Piloo and Ashish decided, “If we can’t walk together amicably, let’s walk separately but remain amicable.” Ashish said they parted ways with “grace”.

Ashish Vidyarthi and Rupali Barua wedding was an intimate affair.

But, the actor, who is 57, always knew he wants to get married again. “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. 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 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 cleared the air about having an ugly end to her relationship with Ashish. She said that her ex-husband never cheated on her and there was no ‘torture or hardships” in their relationship.
