Ashish Vidyarthi

“Theatre is known as a beautiful form of art where an actor expresses his emotions and feelings without any re-takes.”

“Well, acting on stage is very different from acting on screen.”

“When people ask me where I am from, with artificial simplicity, they don't understand how convoluted an answer it may sound.”

“The youths of Bihar are second to none when it comes to talent, hard work and perseverance.”

“No actor is totally happy with the roles they get.”

“I can speak English, Hindi and Bangla.”

“Even as we continue our life, what is important is that, we must keep hope for the future alive.”

“Doing anything with dedication impacts life positively.”

“I can understand Tamil and Telugu when a conversation is aimed at me, but I cannot hold a conversation.”

“It is a rich universe and because people come from different backgrounds, ethos and unique strengths, just because they don't look like us doesn't mean you need to amputate them from your life.”

“For me, the ever smiling face of my father was an enigma which I understood later in life.”

“I personally don't believe in waiting for things to change.”

“Once I sign a film, irrespective of whether it is a small production or a large one, I make it mine and give my best.”

“But it's the love of audience that encourages you to try out better things each time and I feel elated that I have the opportunity to work across so many languages.”

“None of my visits to Bangalore go without a visit to Gandhi Bazaar's Vidyarthi Bhavan. Grabbing a dosa and a coffee there is a must.”

“As an actor, I have travelled, met people and discovered that the only thing that matters is how we treat life, not complaining nor wanting better things.”

“My mother-in-law is an awesome cook, but I have grown up eating the food cooked by my mother. I must say that both of them have their own area of specialisation, when it comes to cooking.”

“All of us play different roles in our chosen career. I play the role of an actor. But I realised I am also an actor apart from various roles I play in my personal life.”

“We have only one life to decide which path would suit us the best.”

“My mother Reba Vidyarthi was a Kathak dancer while my father Govind Vidyarthi was a theatre personality. Later on, he worked for Sangeet Natak Akademi and documented many dying art forms of India.”
