Love and marriage cannot be defined by age. Indian actor Ashish Vidyarthi announced his marriage to Rupali Barua on Thursday. Ashish is 60 and this is his second marriage. The actor married in an intimate ceremony at a Kolkata club. Pictures of their wedding have surfaced on social media.
In the photos, Ashish is seen dressed up as a groom in a Mundu, traditional attire worn in Kerala. Complementing him, his bride opted for a white and golden Mekhela Chador from Assam and completed with some gold jewellery. The wedding was attended by the couple`s close family and friends.
Talking about the wedding, the actor told Times Of India, “At this stage of my life, getting married to Rupali is an extraordinary feeling. We had a court marriage in the morning, followed by a get-together in the evening.”
