New Delhi: Veteran actor Ashish Vidyarthi married Rupali Barua for the second time in a small registry wedding. The pair apparently married in a Kolkata club, and photos from the wedding quickly went viral on the internet. At 60, the actor is embarking on a new chapter in his life with fashion entrepreneur Rupali Barua.
In the viral photos, Ashish is dressed as a groom in a Mundu, while Rupali wears an Assamese Mekhela Chador, symbolising their various cultures in their attire and traditions. Rupali accessorised with gold jewels inspired by South Indian temple art.
However, the newlywed couple has been receiving mixed reactions from social media users. Some are quite impressed with the step taken by both of them at this age, whereas some have expressed negative thoughts about the couple with memes and comments.

According to Hindu marriage act #AshishVidyarthi can’t marry again, while his first wife is alive. So he must have changed his religion to get married again like Dharam Ji and Mahesh Bhatt. So can someone tell me, what is his new name Now?

Why #AshishVidyarthi who is age 60 is being trolled for marrying #RupaliBarua who is age 50. Both are single.

#AshishVidyarthi (60) married a 33 yo. When women are trolled for marrying a younger guy, liberal-feminists outrage that it won’t happen if the roles were reversed. This tells us they don’t know how this sick world works, thus their opinions shouldn’t be trusted #आशीषविद्यार्थी pic.twitter.com/GmruLvpMiM
