Everyone wants to build a home that is unique to a fault and still has the power to make its inhabitants feel connected to themselves and their identities. Actor Ashish Vidyarthi and his wife Rupali Barua, with whom he tied the knot in 2023, have built a home which just might do justice to the aforementioned dreams. Adorned with artifacts from all over the country, the house looks like an antique shop from the movies, and Ashish and Rupali recently invited fans for a tour of their lovely and artistic home.

The two start off by telling the story of the beautiful sofa placed in the living room which has been made by a technique called wood-inlay, and hails from the city of Mysuru. “All of these interesting little things that you see around the living room, are things that we collected from all over the world. Wherever we travel, we pick something up for our home and hence this room has taken a lot of time to look like this.”

Rupali Barua then talked about how Ashish Vidyarthi brought together Assamese culture and his own tastes to give her a truly unique gift. “In Assam, there is a certain culture of hanging decorative plates on one’s walls. He also loves decorating the walls but he likes more of the handicraft stuff, and all these plates have been made my organic materials, and he got them for me actually,” said Rupali.

After Ashish showcased all the furniture that he got from Mysuru, he talked about how he first discovered this style of furniture making while shooting with Rajinikanth. The actor said, “This table is very dear to me as it has quite an interesting story behind it. In 2002, I was shooting the movie Baba with Rajinikanth sir, and then I went to Mysuru for the first time. My son was only three years old, and I got some things changed especially for him..”

The couple walked their fans through several other artifacts that they collected while traveling through Jodhpur, Indonesia, and Manipur. The actor also showed off the several awards and plaques he received throughout his illustrious career, and pictures of his parents kept beside his most important achievements. They both then talked about the place of worship they had built for themselves, which consisted of stuff from Bangalore, and a boundary wall that was designed in Kashmir, but they bought it from Kerala.

Ashish Vidyarthi ended the video by showcasing his musical talents. He played the instrument hang, which is traditionally based on the steelpan from Trinidad and Tobago but was invented in Switzerland.

A BJP office and security vehicle were set on fire. Activist Sonam Wangchuk urged for a peaceful approach. The demand for Sixth Schedule status is due to Ladakh's tribal-majority population and direct central administration.
