Shubhangi Atre’s ex-husband Piyush Poorey passed away on April 19, 2025, reportedly due to a prolonged battle with liver cirrhosis. They were married for over 22 years and finalised their divorce in February 5, this year. According to ETimes, they were not on talking terms before Piyush’s demise and the actress has already resumed the shooting of her show due to professional commitments.
While speaking about the demise of Piyush Poorey, Shubhangi told ETimes, “Your thoughtfulness during this time means a great deal to me. I request you to give me some time to talk about this.”
Meanwhile, a source further revealed, “Shubhangi and Piyush were not on talking terms. However, she is mourning. She has resumed shooting (for her TV show Bhabiji Ghar Par Hai) on Sunday.”
Earlier, while speaking about her divorce to Bombay Times, Shubhangi said that it was painful and is now busy focusing on her daughter. She had said, “It was painful. I was fully invested in the relationship. Over time, Piyush and I developed irreconcilable differences. However, now, I’m out of that marriage, and I feel a sense of peace as if a heavy burden has been lifted. Now, I want to focus on my daughter and provide her with a happy and secure environment.”

“It’s been almost a year since we are not living together. Piyush and I tried our best to save our marriage. Mutual respect, companionship, trust, and friendship are the foundation of a strong marriage. However, we eventually realised that we couldn’t resolve our differences and decided to give each other space and concentrate on our individual lives and careers,” she added.
They also have a daughter. Shubhangi Atre married Piyush when she was only 19.
