This actor was trolled for starting new life in old age

Ashish Vidyarthi

Mumbai: There are many villains in Hindi cinema whose on-screen characters are more iconic than their real names. Today, we’re talking about one such antagonist who etched a lasting impression on audiences with his unique style and commanding presence. This actor has appeared in over 300 films across 11 languages.

 

But he’s more than just a villain on screen; he is also a motivational speaker and food vlogger. He made headlines in his personal life when, at the age of 60, he married a woman 11 years younger than him. If you haven’t guessed his name yet, let us reveal it.

We’re talking about Ashish Vidyarthi. Today, June 19, Ashish turned 63. On this occasion, let’s revisit how he found love at 60 and faced a wave of trolling after marrying.

 

Ashish Vidyarthi tied the knot with Rupali Barua, a 49-year-old from Assam’s fashion industry, on May 25, 2023. Their marriage quickly became the talk of the town due to the age gap and drew heavy trolling online.

 

However, Ashish addressed the criticism in several interviews. In one of them, he said, “It’s very easy to judge others. As the Hindi saying goes, ‘Jab kisi aur ka ghar jalta hai, log haath sekte hain’ (People warm their hands when someone else’s house is burning).”

Rupali Barua is quite active on Instagram. She frequently posts reels, dancing to Hindi songs, showing her love for dance. In several of her videos, Rupali is also seen playing the piano, another passion of hers.

 

A native of Guwahati, Assam, Rupali owns a fashion store and runs her own business in Kolkata. She has an excellent fashion sense, which she flaunts in her videos with a series of stunning outfits that highlight her beauty and elegance.
