A day after Ashish Vidyarthi left everyone surprised announcing his second marriage with entrepreneur Rupali Barua, he issued a video statement on Friday talking about the same. In his statement the veteran actor recalled how he met Rupali after he had ‘amicably’ parted ways with his first wife Piloo. He also clarified that he is not 60-years-old but is rather 57. Ashish also urged everyone to respect how ‘people are living their lives’.

“I literally let the word out in the universe. I was at that point 55, maybe, and I said I want somebody to get married to. That’s how I met Rupali Barua and we got chatting then we met. Then we discovered something interesting about one another and we thought that we could be walking together as husband and wife. Therefore, Rupali and I got married. She is 50 and I’m 57, not 60. But age doesn’t matter my friend. Each one of us can be happy. Whatever be our age, right? So, just wanted to let you let’s keep moving. Let’s respect how people are living their lives,” he said.
