Actor, singer, and former RJ, Piloo Vidyarthi carries a multidimensional personality and identity than just being Bengali superstar Shakuntala Barua’s daughter and actor Ashish Vidyarthi’s former wife.
While speaking to Hindustan Times, she made it clear that she is happy after Ashish got hitched with Rupali Barua in Kolkata. Rajoshi has overridden all sorts of controversies.When asked about the marriage, she said,”You are bang on, it’s rare! People are tied to the stereotypes that one has to fight, abuse and create a scene to go through the process (of separation). Some just cannot take it when two people do it peacefully and beautifully. They just need something to talk about. Either of us has to be the defaulter, according to them.But, we have a kid together. Hanth barale amake pabe, amra shob shomaye bondhu achi (I am his friend and just a call away). I know he is with me whenever I need him and vice versa.”
About Rupali Barua, she added, “For Rupali, I would again say it’s a rare thing to find someone. People are passing comments because they cannot accept generosity. I am quite a transparent person. My fans, followers and people who know me, are aware that I am the same person inside and out. I have not been tortured. Ashish met Rupali after our decision. He is not a bad person. He is a good guy. Can’t we expect a little kindness from people? Bless us please for our individual paths. We are friends and we will always be the same.”
When inquired about some portals which posts cryptic messages and posts on social media, to which she firmly responded, “Yes, I saw those. I woke up in the morning and Arth told me about the reports. He is very humorous. I was like ‘I don’t even understand these things on Instagram. I am becoming stupid. Why did I even do it?’ (laughs)”
“The thing is I don’t use my brain about these little things. I go by my heart. I deleted those posts later. I didn’t do it intentionally. I usually read these quotes and share them if I like them. But, I should have used my brain. A lot of my friends had told me before to not share these things. I am more of an emotion-driven person. I tend to forget these things.”
On changing her surname on Instagram, she clarified: At this moment, I am not thinking about anything at all. I will be the same person as I was. It’s all about time. If I have to do it, I will. These things are done when you have a point to prove. I have nothing to prove. Ami ei chilam, ami akhun ei hoye gechi (Look what I was and what I am now). What does a name have to do with it? It’s just a name. I will continue to be Piloo Vidyarthi.
Piloo Vidyarthi will be next featured in Woh Ladki Hai Kahaan. She also has in her kitty Yash Raj Films, Dharma Productions and Nikkhil Advani.
