New Delhi: Seasoned actor Ashish Vidyarthi recently tied the knot with Rupali Barua. The actor has opened up in a new interview about how he first met Rupali and how he decided to be married a second time. Last week, fashion entrepreneur and actor Ashish Vidyarthi surprised everyone by announcing his second marriage. 

In an interview with The Telegraph-t2, Ashish Vidyarthi opened up how he met Rupali. "Post all the completion with Piloo, last year I met Rupali during one of my vlogging assignments and we started chatting and we discovered that she has also gone through her degree of pain. She lost her husband five years back and also not contemplated marriage again, but as we chatted, we discovered that there is a possibility that she can look afresh at life and consider marrying. I am feeling amazing that I am with someone who at a stage in her life was also perhaps by her own and possibly looking at life in a slightly different way.... She is 50 and I am 57, and why not? Each one of us, whatever be our age, strata, we all can be happy. My key line is to fulfill your responsibilities and that has been the keynote for me," he said.

As he continued, he said that his choice hurt the family as well.

"Piloo and I are walking on with wonderful memories of an amazing marriage. I have never related to Piloo just as my son’s mother. Piloo’s my friend... was my wife... that’s how she was with me... Please don’t think all this has happened without pain. Parting has got pain. It is very difficult. Now, I am being clinical about it, but both Piloo and I and Mowgli have gone through pain.... But then you have a choice, do you want to deal with it or do you want to linger with it? Then life goes away," he added.

Talks on his first marriage and ex-wife Piloo Vidyarthi, also known as Rajoshi Vidyarthi, also began as soon as word of his marriage circulated online. "People are tied to the stereotypes that one has to fight, abuse and create a scene to go through the process (of separation). Some just cannot take it when two people do it peacefully and beautifully," Piloo Vidyarthi told Hindustan Times.

On the work front, Ashish Vidyarthi was last seen in the web series ‘Rana Naidu’, Trial by Fire, and the movie ‘Kuttey.’
