It is never an easy decision to step away from your marriage, especially when you are in the public eye. Earlier this month, Bhabhi Ji Ghar Par Hai! star Shubhangi Atre took the courageous step to announce her separation from her husband Piyush Poorey. The couple has been married for 19 years. After the announcement, she maintained her silence on what went wrong.
For the first time since the separation, Shubhangi opened up about her decision in a recent interview. The actress shared that they have been living separately for over a year. While the two tried to make things work, they failed at the attempt. On being asked if she had apprehensions about sharing the news of her separation, the actress said, “Right now, I’m just focusing on my work.”
I am proud of how gracefully Shubhangi has handled her separation. It is never easy to rebuild yourself all over again but as they say—when the going gets tough, the tough gets going.
When Shubhangi Atre Announced Her Separation
Earlier this month, Shubhangi spoke to the media and confirmed the reports of her separation from Piyush. The couple got married in 2003 and they have an 18-year-old daughter. During a conversation with an online platform she shared, “Piyush and I tried our best to save our marriage. We eventually realised that we couldn’t resolve our differences and decided to give each other space and concentrate on our individual lives and careers.”
Shubhangi added that they would remain cordial for the sake of their daughter. “I don’t want her to be deprived of her father’s love,” she concluded.
I wish all the luck to Shubhangi as she starts a new chapter of her life. Stay strong, everyone’s favourite Angoori bhabhi ji.
