Famed television actress Shubhangi Atre, known and loved for her iconic portrayal of Angoori Bhabhi in the hit comedy series Bhabiji Ghar Par Hai, is currently grappling with a personal tragedy. Her ex-husband, Piyush Poorey, passed away on April 19, 2025, after a battle with liver cirrhosis. The news reportedly reached Shubhangi through media reports, leaving her in deep grief.

Shubhangi and Piyush were married for 22 years before they decided to part ways due to irreconcilable differences. Although they had been separated since 2022, their divorce was legally finalized just two months prior to Piyush’s untimely demise. Sources close to the couple have confirmed that they were no longer in contact at the time of his passing.

The couple tied the knot in 2003 and welcomed their daughter, Ashi, shortly after. Piyush, who once held a high-paying job in advertising, made a rare and commendable decision to quit his profession to support Shubhangi’s acting career and take care of their daughter. In an old interview with The Times of India, Shubhangi had spoken about his sacrifices:

“When I got shows like Kasautii Zindagii Kay and Kasturi, Piyush left his job so that I could pursue acting. Later, when I settled down a bit and we figured out our schedules, he resumed work.”

Following Piyush’s death, a source revealed that Shubhangi quietly resumed shooting for Bhabiji Ghar Par Hai on April 20, a day after the tragedy, though she has chosen not to speak extensively on the matter for now. In a brief interaction with the media, she said,

“Your thoughtfulness during this time means a great deal to me. I request you to give me some time to talk about this.”

While Shubhangi continues to entertain millions with her performance on-screen, the loss of someone who once played a pivotal role in her life has undoubtedly left an emotional void. Fans and well-wishers have taken to social media to extend their condolences and support during this difficult time. Shubhangi is best known for her role in Bhabhiji Ghar Par Hai. The actress has garnered a lot of love for her role.
