Ashish Vidyarthi Breaks Silence On Being Trolled As ‘Buddha-Khoosat’ & Other Derogatory Words By Netizens: “Does That Mean I’m Supposed To Die Unhappy”

Ashish Vidyarthi is an accomplished Indian actor who is known as a versatile actor with a knack for portraying diverse characters on screen. He has gained recognition for his powerful and often villainous roles as well. But he recently made headlines after he announced his second marriage.

The veteran actor recently married Guwahati-based entrepreneur Rupali Barua in a small ceremony in Kolkata and received a lot of love from friends and family. However, some netizens took this opportunity to troll him, mocking his age and getting married at an old age.

During a conversation with India Today, Ashish Vidyarthi questioned the naysayers and asked why he cannot seek happiness and companionship at his age. He said, “I read words like ‘buddha-khoosat (old)’ and many more derogatory words. What is interesting is that it is a comment (being a buddha) that each one of us, whoever is saying that, we are passing on others who are older than us, and at the same time, we are giving that fear to ourselves, because each one of us, hopefully, will become old. We are telling ourselves, ‘Hey, listen, don’t do things just because you’re old.’ So, does that mean you’re supposed to die unhappy? If somebody wants companionship, why should he not?”
