Shubhangi revealed that at the age of twenty-one, she had embraced motherhood. While she was taking care of her daughter till she was one, soon she had started giving auditions to pursue her acting dream. And when she got her debut show, her husband, Piyush had left his advertising job. She said:
"I was in Pune and my husband was working in an advertisement agency. Till our baby grew a year old, I was taking care of her completely but after that, I started giving auditions. 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."
Shubhangi further added that her family was also supportive of her dream. Whenever she needed any help from her in-laws, they would instantly come. Shubhangi also said that no one in her family ever made her feel that her daughter is missing out on life because of her mother's work commitments.

However, when their daughter was little, it wasn't easy for the couple as they used to live in Pune and Shubhangi was working in Mumbai. The actress shared that she would go to meet her daughter on weekends. Shubhangi added that some people didn't like her decision. She said:
"While I was doing my first show and was living in Mumbai, I used to go to Pune every weekend to meet my daughter. Once they shifted here, then it got a lot easier. Initially, some people felt I wasn’t doing the right thing. Many a times I wondered too, but now my daughter Ashi says it was all worth it. The two of us are like best friends today."
Well, we love the way Shubhangi's husband, Piyush has stood like a pillar of strength in her career and personal life!
