Guwahati, Jan 3: Veteran Bollywood actor Ashish Vidyarthi and his wife Rupali Baruah were injured in a road accident near Zoo Road in Guwahati late Friday night, police said.

The incident occurred around midnight in front of The Guwahati Address Hotel on Zoo Road, under the jurisdiction of Geetanagar Police Station. According to sources, the couple was hit by a speeding Avenger motorcycle (registration number AS-01-DY-5061) while they were crossing the road.

Police said the motorcycle, reportedly coming from the Chandmari side at high speed, struck Vidyarthi and his wife, leaving both injured. The biker also sustained serious injuries in the collision.

Personnel from Geetanagar Police Station rushed to the spot soon after receiving information and shifted the injured motorcyclist to Gauhati Medical College Hospital (GMCH) for treatment. Vidyarthi and Rupali Baruah were also provided medical care.

Sources said the couple had stepped out after dinner at The Guwahati Address restaurant near Zoo Tiniali and were crossing the road when the accident took place.

Following the incident, Vidyarthi shared a video message to reassure fans and well-wishers. “Rupali and I were crossing the street when a bike hit us. We are both fine. Rupali is under observation and everything is okay. I am absolutely fine with just a minor injury,” he said, urging people not to sensationalise the incident.
