Shubhangi Atre reveals she left late Piyush Poorey due to his alcohol addiction: 'Even sending him to rehab didn't work'
Shubhangi said that she spoke with Piyush on April 16 and prayed for his recovery. She also said that she is "emotional and numb" at the moment. She said, "It's easy for people to judge without knowing the full story. They assume I left him due to my success, but that's not true. Our separation was a result of years of struggle. I didn't leave because I became successful, I left because his alcohol addiction took a toll on our lives. I tried everything I could to save my marriage, but it was beyond my control. Even sending him to rehab didn't work. Both our families also tried their best to help him, but addiction destroyed him and affected all of us."
Talking about their daughter Ashi, she said, "I had to prioritise my daughter Ashi's well-being, so I made the difficult decision to part ways. It wasn't a decision made overnight. Things started going wrong around 2018-2019, and it eventually led to the divorce in 2025. Even after our divorce, I remained in touch with Piyush and encouraged him to seek help. I also share an extremely cordial relationship with his family...I feel my daughter has suffered more than I have."
Shubhangi said she would meet Piyush's family in Indore soon. Ashi, who is studying in the US, will finish her final exams and come to India. The mother-daughter duo will then go to Indore together. The couple tied the knot in Indore in 2003. Shubhangi and Piyush were blessed with their daughter two years later in 2005.
Last year, before their divorce, a source told Hindustan Times, 'There was a time when the couple tried to work on their relationship and give a second chance to their marriage. But that didn't work out. They have made peace with the fact that they can't live together, but they don't want to go ahead with the divorce proceedings.'
The actor is known for appearing in shows such as Kasautii Zindagii Kay, Kasturi, and Chidiya Ghar. She is best known for playing Angoori Bhabhi in Bhabhiji Ghar Par Hain.

Akshay Kumar dismisses publicity stunt claims around ‘Hera Pheri 3' dispute with Paresh Rawal
Actor Akshay Kumar has addressed the long-standing controversy surrounding Hera Pheri 3 and clarified that the legal dispute involving co-star Paresh Rawal was not part of a promotional tactic. In an interview with Hindustan Times, Kumar responded to speculation that the back-and-forth over casting and legal matters was staged. 'No. This wasn't a publicity stunt. The things went legal, so it cannot be a publicity stunt,' he said, adding that the matter has since been resolved and 'any kind of announcement' about the film could be made soon. 'Thoda bahaut ho gaya tha upar niche (things went a little south), but now everything is resolved. We have always been together,' he added, referring to his relationship with Rawal and co-star Suniel Shetty. The Hera Pheri 3 saga began in 2022 when Kumar announced he wouldn't return to the popular franchise due to creative differences. This led to rumours that Kartik Aaryan might take over his role. However, Kumar later returned to the project, joining Rawal and Shetty in a promotional shoot for the film, giving fans hope for the original trio's reunion. Tensions flared again earlier this year when reports claimed Rawal had exited the film, allegedly over differences with director Priyadarshan. Rawal confirmed his departure but denied any issues with the director. Soon after, news surfaced that Kumar, who holds rights to the franchise, had taken legal action against Rawal, prompting the veteran actor to reportedly return payments he had received. In the weeks that followed, both actors reportedly reconciled, with Rawal back on board for the third installment. With the dispute behind them, Hera Pheri 3 has resumed development, reuniting the original cast more than two decades after the first film released in 2000.
