Ashish Vidyarthi says separation from ex-wife Piloo was ‘painful’; reveals why he decided to marry Rupali Barua
Ashish Vidyarthi, in a recent interview, shared that the decision to separate from his ex-wife Piloo Vidyarthi was not an easy one. The actor recently got married to Rupali Barua.
Actor Ashish Vidyarthi got married to fashion entrepreneur Rupali Barua last week, after divorcing his wife of 22 years, Piloo Vidyarthi, a couple of years ago. In a recent interview, the actor shared that the decision to separate from his ex-wife was not an easy one, and both of them tried to make things work for months before finally deciding to call it quits. Vidyarthi also revealed how he found love for the second time in Rupali Barua, whom he met on one of his vlogging assignments.
Speaking about his first wife Piloo, Ashish told The Telegraph, “We thought it through and went through months of working with each other. And, finally when we saw it was not working… (we came to a decision). This wasn’t an overnight decision…” The actor maintained that there is no bitterness between him and his ex-wife, and they are co-parenting their son Arth. “No way can I hate her. 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…” Vidyarthi added.
However, the actor maintained that the separation from Piloo was not “without pain”. He shared, “Parting has got pain. It is very difficult. Now, I am being clinical about it, but both Piloo and I and Mowgli (his son) 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.”
Sharing details of how his love story with Rupali began, Vidyarthi said, “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.”
Ashish Vidyarthi, seen in Pitchers 2 recently, shared a video message with his social media followers a few days back, saying he knew he always wanted to remarry because he wanted to “travel with somebody.”
