Shubhangi Atre On Financial Struggles Post Marriage: ‘Knew I Have To Work'
Published By : Shreyanka Mazumdar Trending Desk Last Updated: July 10, 2025, 14:10 IST been a part of Bhabiji Ghar Par Hain since 2016. (Photo Credits: Instagram) Shubhangi Atre gained widespread recognition for playing the role of Angoori Bhabhi in the popular show Bhabiji Ghar Par Hain. Recently, the actress, during an interview, opened up about her personal life, highlighting the challenges she faced early in her marriage and the difficult choices she had to make for her and her daughter's well-being. During a conversation with Sidharth Kanan, the actress said, 'I got married pretty young. It was a love marriage. My baby was also born early. It was a blessing at the time, as God had intended. Now I'm comfortable and relaxed, and my daughter is studying abroad." Reflecting on the early days, she stated, 'I knew very early that I needed to work. After 7 days of marriage, I was giving an interview at a laser cosmetics clinic. There were financial constraints." Shubhangi got married in 2003 at the age of 20 and welcomed her daughter, Ashi, when she was 21. Her then-husband, Piyush, worked in marketing and sales. They had known each other through family gatherings. However, the couple got separated after 17 years of marriage and finalised their divorce in February this year. Furthermore, she recalled why she decided to marry Piyush and said, 'I received a marriage proposal at the time, and I married Piyush to avoid the situation. A known demon is better than an unfamiliar one. Twenty is not an optimal age for marriage. I married a friend." Earlier, Shubhangi faced criticism for her separation from Priyush, after his sudden demise. Reacting to the comments, she told ETimes, 'People were quick to pass judgment without fully understanding the situation. They assumed I left him because I was successful, but this was incorrect. His alcohol addiction took a toll on our lives. I tried everything, including sending him to rehab. It wasn't impulsive. Things started to go downhill around 2018–2019. I had to prioritize Ashi's well-being." Her daughter, Ashi, is residing in the United States where she is pursuing her education in Astrophysics. Shubhangi has also appeared in shows like Kasautii Zindagii Kay, Kasturi, Karam Apnaa Apna, Kumkum- Ek Pyaara Sa Bandhan, Chidiya Ghar and Do Hanso Ka Joda among others.

Rishi Kapoor's Nude Scene In Bobby Left Aruna Irani 'Shy': 'Nanga Toh Mujhe Hona Tha'
Curated By : Shreyanka Mazumdar Last Updated: June 17, 2025, 08:05 IST Rishi Kapoor was naked in a scene in Bobby. In the early 1970s, Bobby broke new ground in many ways — from introducing fresh faces like Rishi Kapoor and Dimple Kapadia to showcasing bold cinematic moments. One such scene, where a young Rishi appears nude while drying his hair with a towel, left quite an impression at the time. Now, decades later, actress Aruna Irani has revisited that moment, revealing she was initially too shy to even be on set when it was filmed. In a recent interview with Lehren Retro, Aruna shared that she hesitated to shoot the scene and had to be persuaded by the film's legendary director Raj Kapoor, who also happened to be Rishi's father. 'I had said no initially. He comes out nude and dries out his hair with a towel. He gave that shot. I told Raj ji that I can't do it. He said, 'Don't look there naa, don't see wrong things, see right things'. I did it at last," Aruna revealed. The story didn't end there. Aruna recalled that much later, when she worked with Rishi Kapoor again, he brought up her earlier hesitation in a light-hearted exchange. 'I was then working with Chintu ji in Ravi Malhotra's film. He said, 'Aruna ji, mujhe aapse ek baat poochni hai. You objected a lot in that scene, but nanga toh mujhe hona tha, aap kyun object kar rahe the (Aruna ji, I have to ask you something. I was the one who was naked in the shot, why were you objecting)?'" she recounted. She went on to admit that his question made her reflect. 'I told him that I was feeling shy. I was thinking and getting restless to ask you that why you were feeling shy when I was the one naked in that scene. But, he was actually right," she concluded. Directed by Raj Kapoor, Bobby was more than just a love story — it captured youthful rebellion, class divide, and a new style of filmmaking for its time. While the film became a blockbuster and remains a cultural classic, stories like Aruna Irani's add a fascinating glimpse into the off-camera experiences that shaped it.
