In a recent interview with Behindwoods TV, Ashish and Rupali discussed the trolls and the unfavourable remarks they received. Rupali stated that she doesn’t give a damn about what people think: “I did not give a damn to it because those people I don’t know. They have seen something that is very un-obvious, for normal people. Because they don’t know about it. It didn’t affect me so much because I didn’t read the comments so much. My close ones are supporting me, I don’t need any other validation.”
It was also disclosed by Ashish, who had previously been married to Rajoshi Vidyarthi, that neither he nor Rupali needed to provide evidence. He said: “Two things with love and affection- you don’t need to prove a point. We both were not out there to prove any point. No upset, no anger, but do something that makes you happy.”
In the same interview, Rupali added that having a friend at this time in life is a blessing. She then responded: “Being given this opportunity by the universe is a big thing. Any other thing is small. I know what I have been missing. To find a companion at this age is a blessing. That blessing is so big that everything else, the negativity is blurred.”
