TV actress Shubhangi Atre’s ex-husband Piyush Poorey died of liver cirrhosis.
Television actress Shubhangi Atre, known for her role in Bhabiji Ghar Par Hain!, is currently mourning the death of her ex-husband, Piyush Poorey. According to reports, Piyush passed away on Saturday after a prolonged battle with liver cirrhosis. He worked as a digital marketing professional.
Confirming the news to TOI, Shubhangi expressed her grief, saying, “Your thoughtfulness during this time means a great deal to me. I request you to give me some time to talk about this.”
A source close to the actress revealed that Shubhangi and Piyush were not in touch at the time of his passing. “She is mourning. She resumed shooting for Bhabiji Ghar Par Hai on Sunday,” the source added.
Shubhangi and Piyush got married in 2003 and have a daughter, Ashi, who was born in 2006. The couple was together for over two decades before finalising their divorce on February 5, 2025.
In an earlier interview with Bombay Times, Shubhangi had opened up about the breakdown of her marriage. “It was painful. I was fully invested in the relationship. Over time, Piyush and I developed irreconcilable differences,” she had shared.
She went on to say, “However, now that I’m out of that marriage, I feel a sense of peace, as if a heavy burden has been lifted. I want to focus on my daughter and provide her with a happy and secure environment.”
The actress also noted that they had stopped living together nearly a year before their legal separation. Despite their best efforts to make the relationship work, they eventually realised they were unable to resolve their differences.
Speaking about the importance of mutual understanding in a marriage, Shubhangi had said, “Respect, companionship, trust, and friendship are the pillars of a strong marriage. But sometimes, giving each other space to focus on individual lives and careers becomes necessary.”
Shubhangi continues to star in Bhabiji Ghar Par Hain!, a long-running comedy show where she plays the popular character Angoori Bhabi.
