‘Bhabiji Ghar Par Hai’ Star Shubhangi Atre Mourns Ex-Husband Piyush Poorey’s Untimely Passing
In a tragic turn of events, Piyush Poorey, the former husband of popular television actress Shubhangi Atre, passed away on April 19, 2025, after battling liver cirrhosis. The digital marketing professional from Indore’s death comes just two months after the couple finalized their divorce in February 2025, ending their 22-year marriage.
A Relationship That Spanned Two Decades
Shubhangi Atre, best known for her role in the hit comedy show “Bhabiji Ghar Par Hai,” married Piyush Poorey in 2003. Their union blessed them with a daughter, Ashi, born in 2005. The couple had been a significant part of each other’s lives for over two decades before they decided to part ways.
The separation, which began in 2022, culminated in a divorce earlier this year. According to sources close to the actress, the couple had not been on speaking terms following their separation, making the situation particularly complex during this difficult time.
Professional Commitments Amid Personal Loss
Despite the emotional toll of her ex-husband’s passing, Shubhangi has resumed shooting for “Bhabiji Ghar Par Hai.” Industry insiders report that the actress has returned to set due to professional commitments, showcasing her dedication to her craft even during personal hardship.
The actress is reportedly mourning in private while maintaining her professional obligations, a balance that many in the entertainment industry often have to strike during personal crises.
Reflections on Marriage and Moving Forward
Prior to these recent events, Shubhangi had opened up about her divorce, attributing it to irreconcilable differences between the couple. In her statements, she emphasized what she believed were the cornerstones of a successful marriage: mutual respect, companionship, trust, and friendship.
“Marriage is a partnership that requires effort from both sides,” she had stated in an earlier interview. “When fundamental elements like respect and trust begin to erode, sometimes the healthiest decision is to move on.”
The actress had also expressed feeling a sense of peace after the divorce was finalized, suggesting that the decision, though difficult, was necessary for her well-being.
Focusing on Family
Throughout these challenging circumstances, Shubhangi’s primary focus has been providing stability and security for her daughter Ashi, who is now 20 years old. Sources close to the actress reveal that ensuring her daughter’s emotional well-being during these turbulent times has been her highest priority.
The mother-daughter duo has reportedly been supporting each other through this difficult period, highlighting the strength of their bond amidst family tragedy.
