 "Actor Ashish Vidyarthi's ex-wife Piloo on keeping his surname after divorce: 'If you marry again...'")
Veteran actor Ashish Vidyarthi took the internet by storm after photos of his second marriage went viral. Vidyarthi, at 60, found love for a second time in Assamese fashion entrepreneur, Rupali Barua. The event took place in an intimate ceremony back in 2023 in Kolkata.
Earlier, he was married to Rajoshi aka Piloo Vidyarthi. In the pictures, the actor could be seen dressed as a groom in an off-white outfit. Complementing him, Rupali opted for a white and golden traditional saree completed with gold jewellery. In the hours following the publication of the couple’s pictures online, several social media users flooded the comment section with congratulations.
In an interview with News18 Showsha, Piloo spoke about still using her former husband’s surname and revealed, “The Indian system is complicated. There are so many things you need to consider before altering your name or surname. I am still struggling to change my address on my Aadhar card. If you marry again, the surname change becomes easier. I don’t find a powerful reason to change it.”
She added, “Neither Ashish has a problem with it nor I. Actually, what do I have to prove my changing my surname? It has worked for me. Rupali is now writing Barua. I write Vidyarthi and she never has any issue with it. She is also a very simple person.”
“Yes, I have. I don’t feel a lack of anything. I don’t miss any luxury. But sure, there are small things, like not having a partner. I’m open to love if at all, but not remarriage at this point in time,” she continued.
