Ashish Vidyarthi, a well-established actor, recently caught everyone’s attention as he got married for the second time at the age of 57. In a delightful ceremony, the veteran actor tied the knot with Rupali Barua, marking a new chapter in his life. Prior to this, Vidyarthi was married to Rajoshi Barua, with whom he shares a son named Arth. Soon after the news of his second marriage started circulating on the internet, it left the internet divided. However, the actor has now decided to break silence on the trolls.

Ashish told India Today, “I read words like ‘boodha, khusat’ and many more derogatory words. What is interesting is that it is a comment (being a Buddha) that each one of us, whoever is saying that, we are passing on others who are older than us, and at the same time, we are giving that fear to ourselves, because each one of us, hopefully, will become old. We are telling ourselves, ‘hey, listen, don't do things just because you're old.’ So, does that mean you're supposed to die unhappy? If somebody wants companionship, why should he not?”

He further added, “What are these walls we are creating for everyone? A law-abiding human being, who's doing things legally, who's paying his taxes and is working hard. That person is making a personal choice, to get married, legally, with another person, who's also keen to have a family and live with love. It's a thing in which each one of us should actually be supporting each other rather than puncturing somebody else. That is something I did not expect and was shocked because throughout my life I have added value.”

Expressing himself, he also stated, “When somebody is old, who's going to look after them? None of those people who are commenting will come and look after me, will they? When we are condemning somebody for age, on the basis of age, you are restricting yourself. It is not just relationships, so many people want to do so many things but stop themselves because what will people say?”

“We have the capacity to do something which we really want to do with our life. And I also believe that at the end of the day, a person has the choice to sort of choose their happiness,” Ashish concluded.
