“Our section is beautiful because of him” – Ashish Vidyarthi’s ex-wife Leschi

With actor Ashish Vidyarthi getting married for the second time, his ex-wife Billu Vidyarthi has given a detailed interview about their relationship and split.

Ashish Vidyarthi got married to Rupali Barua yesterday. His second marriage at the age of 60 was welcomed by his fans and widely, as proof that the society’s view on second marriages is changing drastically. When it extends to non-celebrities we can feel the change moving towards perfection.

In this case, an interview of Ashish Vidyarthi’s ex-wife Billu Vidyarthi is getting attention. In it he has beautifully shared various things about marital relationship and divorce. Billu is a former radio jockey.

From that interview… – “Ashish and I got divorced in 2021. We don’t want to publicize it to the outside world. We both remain good friends even today. 22 years of life with Ashish has been the best period of my life. If you ask him, he will say this. We have a lot in common. We have differences. But , we never clashed over it and we are still friends.

We have a son. He is now working abroad for Tesla. Ashish has a big role in bringing him up. Usually all the credit goes to the wife in child rearing but she played the biggest role in our lives. He is not only a friend but also a mentor to my son. We both have raised Arth Vidyarthi to be a good man. So he understood everything including the division between us.

We needed division. It may have been needed earlier. But, I realized that need only recently. Ashish and I spent time nurturing Arth. He grew up and went abroad. As an artist I had the desire to do what I love. No one is stopping me. When I realized what my needs were, I realized that my future needs and Ashish’s future needs were different. Ashish has every right to fulfill his dreams and fulfill his future wishes. That is what made us realize that we needed division.

We all have experienced that marriage means compromise. Many of us still live in compromise. But what we don’t know is what goes on behind closed doors. No one but those who do it knows how much compromises one makes mentally and financially due to marriage. It’s a fine line. The thickness of that compromise cannot be measured. I cannot live with such a compromise.

My needs and Ashish’s needs are different. They were opposites in marriage. Some people live with compromise. I’m not calling it a crime. I mean I’m not ready for that. I’ve seen people post long posts on social networking sites emulating their peers. Only one thing comes to my mind. It seems that only they know what is really inside them.

Ashish made our partition beautiful. This would not have happened without his support. Usually during a divorce there are many ugly fights in the lawyer’s office. Our section is beautifully situated. Ashish made it easy for both of us.

There is much speculation that there was great persecution and hardship after our division. But nothing like that happened. We have been on different paths for two years. He excels in his profession. I go my way. He is now married again. Talks like that’s why he divorced me are nonsense. He never cheated on me.

Likewise, there is no need for me to get married again. Because I don’t need marriage. He did because he needed help. You can’t punish someone based on their needs, can you? He is seeking what is good for him.

I have spent a major part of my life as the daughter of Shakuntala Bharua and the wife of Ashish Vidyarthi. Now on my way. I didn’t destroy my identity for so long. I am now looking for my identity on a different path,” concludes the interview.

While movies and web series do a lot of menacing to tell the transition of man-woman relationship, marriage bond, divorce in the form of art, Billu Vidyarthi has realistically told that transition empirically. But even in this, the question does not arise that why only a person who was a wife has to give so many explanations.
