Actor Ashish Vidyarthi, who tied the knot with fashion entrepreneur Rupali Barua recently, opened up about how the two met in a video he posted on social media. He also spoke about the relationship he shared with his first wife, Rajoshi Barua (Piloo).

He said, “All of us want to be happy. So, about 22 years back, Piloo and I met and we got married, and it was an amazing one. We had Arth, who is now 22, and is working. But somehow, over 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 realized that the differences could be sorted out, but it would be in a way that one of us would impose on the other and that would take away the happiness. And happiness is all we want, right? We both sat down together and decided we will do it (separate) amicably. And that’s what we did. With grace and a degree of ease, we parted ways. But I wanted to get married again because I wanted to travel with somebody. So, I literally got the word out in the universe.”

Talking about his second marriage, he said, “Rupali and I discovered 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 (laughs), but age doesn’t matter, my friend. Each one of us can be happy, whatever be our age, right? Just wanted to let you know, let’s keep moving with respect.”
