Shubhangi Atre is currently ruling many hearts with her amazing portrayal of Angoori Bhabhi in the hit sitcom ‘Bhabiji Ghar Par Hain!’. When she saw a rise in her popularity in 2007 while working in ‘Kasturi’ in the lead role, her daughter was only 11 months old. In an exclusive interview with News24 on Daughter’s Day 2024, the actress recalled the time when she had to shoot for long hours and it was difficult for her to manage work and take care of her daughter.
Talking about the same, Shubhangi revealed, “When I started working in ‘Kasturi’, Ashi (her daughter) was only 11 months old. We used to have both day and night shoots when I started working with Balaji Films. I don’t think I will ever be over that guilt. I was the central character in the show, so I couldn’t go anywhere else. The job of a television actor can be very demanding as it’s a big commitment and you have to give up on many things.”
The actress also revealed that her daughter is currently in the US and she gets concerned about her well-being as they are far from each other. Expressing her concerns about the recent harassment cases and the safety of her daughter, she added, “ Ashi and I are so far away as she is in the US and I am here. It’s so heartbreaking when I hear about these heinous crimes. More than teaching girls to be safe, we should teach our boys first. If that starts to happen, I don’t think there will be many of these incidents. It’s also important for girls to learn self-defense but then if there are four people surrounding you, what can one do even after learning self-defense? It’s extremely important for people in India to change their mentality and also to correct how boys are being raised. They should also know how to respect women.”
On the work front, Shubhangi has worked in the shows like ‘Do Hanso Ka Joda’, ‘Havan’, ‘Chidiya Ghar’ and ‘Adhuri Kahaani Hamari’, among others. She started her career with ‘Kasautii Zindagi Kay’ in 2007 and soon bagged the leading role in ‘Kasturi’ in the same year.
