‘ANGOORI BHABHI MAY BE DUMB BUT IS PURE AT HEART’

Shubhangi Atre aka Bhabhiji has been a part of the entertainment world for a decade now. She was last seen in shows like Kasauti Zindagi Ki, Kasturi and Gulmohar Grand.

Taking about her apprehensions before taking up this show from where Big Boss 11 winner Shilpa Shinde left, she says “Initially, I was doubtful as well as a little nervous whether or not the audience will accept me. But thankf ully it all fell into place and now I have been accepted by the audience wholeheartedly.”

Talking about her inspiration for taking up a role of a simple woman, who is treated as dumb, she says, “I’ll not call her dumb. In fact, for me she is simple and pure at heart soul. And trust me at times I get jealous of her being so naive about worldly issues that keep us all so stressed. As far as my inspiration in concerned it was my mother who is like my character in the show. My mother’s life also revolved around my father and she too always sang songs while cooking meals. And somewhere this show has brought out the real innocent housewife from the kitchen closet on your TV screen.”

On recent rumours that she may also quit the show, Shubhangi says she took to the social media to refute such rumours.

“Social media today is awfully fast and has its negatives too. But it’s okay because such things are part and parcel of any actor’s life. Though earlier, this news did made me a bit anxious but then when I took on social media and reverted, all the rumours came to rest,” she says.
