In an exclusive conversation with midday, Shubhangi Atre reflected on her long-standing role in Bhabiji Ghar Par Hain, her approach to work, and her plans for the future.
“I was very content. You know, that is my, it`s my habit. Whenever I`m somewhere, like if I`m cooking food, and this thing, like my mother taught me that whatever you are doing, if you`re cleaning the bathroom, if you`re cleaning the toilet, then only clean the toilet. If you`re cooking food, then only cook the food. You know, you should be, your presence should be 100 percent, whatever you`re doing. So, whenever, like from last 10 years, when I was I was putting my heart and soul and I was there, like I was 100 percent, I was there. You know? That`s right. That`s why I never tried anything else. I was doing this character only,” she explained.
Shubhangi Atre gets candid about playing Angoori for a decade
Shubhangi praised the show’s enduring appeal, highlighting its relatability. “2016 was a, you know, transitional phase for everyone, because so many comedy shows started and they, like, couldn`t work. But Bhabiji, running from last to the end, sustained for all these years. All these years. And every character is very relatable. Very, very relatable. You know, Angoori`s character has housewives. Anita`s character has girls, you know, who are a little bossy, classy, you know. Then Tikka, Tillu, Malkhan, those guys, who sit at the tea stall. Right. So, each and every character is very relatable, very earthy. An individual can connect with them.”
Speaking about her film debut as Angoori, she shared, “Yes, Raviji, Mukeshji, Bijendra Kala, then Nirahuaji, then Mushtaq Khan sir. Raviji has his own performance. He impressed me with his effortless performance. So, I had a wonderful time. And yes, like you said, you`ll see me in the film. But I want you to continue to give so much love to this character. And please, we need your best wishes. It should be a blockbuster.”

Shubhangi also opened up about her career after a decade-long stint in one role. “I have been in the industry since the last 19 years. I haven`t gone out anywhere yet. Hopefully. And like every artist has a lot of hunger, something good, something different, you know, to explore something new. So, it`s the same. And I am waiting for something really good. Talks are on. It`s going on. But yes, very soon, I will share with you all what I am going to do. I just want to entertain people till my last breath. I just want to entertain people till my last breath.”
