Actor Ashish Vidyarthi is the talk of the town after his second wedding to fashion entrepreneur Rupali Barua on Thursday. The couple tied the knot in an intimate ceremony at a Kolkata club, with wishes and congratulatory messages pouring in from all quarters. That being said, new photos of the couple seen dancing and celebrating their union with family members and close friends are now taking social media by storm. Rupali, who looked gorgeous in a beautiful white Assamese mekhela saree with a golden border, complimented her attire with gold temple jewelry, while Ashish was charming as ever in a white and gold Kerala mundu.
In the new pictures that have now surfaced on social media, we see Ashish tying the mangalsutra (sacred thread) on Rupali during their registry marriage. The pictures also show the couple being surrounded by family members and well-wishers who are seen wishing them on the next big phase of their lives. Ashish and Rupali also performed bihu, following which they got married at a Kolkata club, after which they hosted a reception. The National Award-winning actor, who is best known among Tamil cinema fans for his roles in blockbusters like Dhill, Ghilli, and Uthamaputhiran to name a notable few, opened up about his second marriage in a video he put up on his social media channels and said, "I met Rupali Barua. We started chatting, then met a year back. We felt 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, but age doesn't matter my friend. Each one of us can be happy. Just wanted to let you know, let's keep moving with respect, how people are living their lives."
Ashish, who was previously married to Rajoshi Barua, alias Piloo, opened up on his divorce from his first wife and said, "So, about 22 years back, Piloo and I met and we got married, and it was a great one. We had Arth who is now is now 22, and he's working. But, for 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 discovered that the differences can be sorted out but it would be in a way that one of us will impose on the other and that would take away the happiness. Happiness is all we want, right?" He added, "We both sat down together and talked about it and said that we will do it harmoniously. If we can't walk together harmoniously, let's walk separately but remain frank. And, that's what we did, with grace and a degree of ease, we parted ways. But, I had a firm belief that I want to get married because I want to travel with somebody. So, I literally got the word out in the universe."
