Shubhangi Atre Opens Up On Early Marriage And Motherhood With Piyush Poorey, Says, 'Just 7 Days...'

Television actress, Shubhangi Atre, who is best known for her role as 'Angoori Bhabhi' in the popular show, Bhabiji Ghar Par Hain!, recently opened up about her personal struggles, marriage and her life as a single mother. In a candid and heartfelt interview with Siddharth Kannan, Shubhangi spoke about her challenges she faced personally and professionally. 

Shubhangi Atre’s early marriage at the age of 20

Recently, Shubhangi spoke about her early marriage and shared that she got married at the age of 20, to her boyfriend, Piyush Poorey. She shared that her decision to marry Piyush was not planned, and it happened so that she could avoid an arranged marriage. The duo knew each other well and at that time, the decision looked like it was good. In her words:

"I had got a marriage proposal, and to get out of it, I married Piyush. A known devil is better than an unknown one."

However, just seven days later, Shubhangi had to forcefully return to work due to financial pressure. Her husband, Piyush, used to work in sales and marketing at that time and his earning was not enough for the family, so Shubhangi began working to support the house. She shared: 

"Just 7 days after my wedding, I was giving interviews at a laser cosmetic centre. There were financial constraints."

Shubhangi Atre’s early motherhood

Soon after her marriage, Shubhangi became a mother. She along with Piyush welcomed their daughter, Ashi. Shubhangi described her daughter as a 'blessing'. In the interview, Shubhangi mentioned that early motherhood with the pressure of work was difficult to handle. Now, years later, Ashi is studying abroad and Shubhangi finally feels that now she feels her life is settled. Talking about her child, she said: 

"It was a love marriage. I had my baby early. By God’s wish, it was a blessing back then."

Shubhangi Atre’s separation with Piyush Poorey

In a candid interview with Siddharth Kannan, Shubhangi Atre spoke about her separation from her husband and the judgement that came along with it. She revealed that many assumed that her success was the reason for her divorce but she clarified that the reality was something else. She mentioned that her husband had alcohol addiction, which was affecting the entire family. She shared: 

"It was easy for people to judge without knowing the full story. They thought I left him because I was doing well in my career. But that wasn’t true. His alcohol addiction affected our lives badly. I tried everything, even sent him to rehab."

Shubhangi Atre and Piyush Poorey’s divorce

In 2025, Shubhangi Atre took the step of filing for divorce from Piyush Poorey. She explained that the things between her and her husband started going downhill around 2018-2019, and overtime they realised that separation was the only solution. Despite all the criticism Shubhangi faced, her journey highlights the importance of mental peace and stability. In her words: 

"It wasn’t sudden. Things started going downhill around 2018–2019. I had to prioritise Ashi’s well-being."
