Piyush Poorey Passes Away After Struggling with Liver Cirrhosis
Shubhangi Atre, a well-known television actress recognized for her role in the popular series Bhabiji Ghar Par Hain!, is currently grieving the loss of her ex-husband, Piyush Poorey, who reportedly passed away on Saturday after a long battle with liver cirrhosis. Piyush was employed as a digital marketing professional.
In a statement to Times of India, Shubhangi shared her sorrow over the news, expressing appreciation for the support from those around her. She stated, “Your thoughtfulness during this time means a great deal to me. I request you to give me some time to talk about this.”
Sources close to Shubhangi indicated that the former couple had limited contact leading up to his death. A source remarked, “She is mourning. She resumed shooting for Bhabiji Ghar Par Hain on Sunday,” highlighting her professional commitment even amidst personal tragedy.
Shubhangi and Piyush were wed in 2003 and share a daughter, Ashi, who was born in 2006. Their marriage lasted for over two decades before culminating in a divorce finalized on February 5, 2025.
Previously, Shubhangi discussed the challenges that led to the end of their marriage in an interview with Bombay Times, reflecting on the emotional toll it took on her. “It was painful. I was fully invested in the relationship. Over time, Piyush and I developed irreconcilable differences,” she confessed.
In that same interview, she expressed a sense of relief following the divorce, stating, “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.”
Shubhangi revealed that the couple had been living separately for almost a year before their legal separation. Despite their efforts to mend their relationship, they ultimately recognized that their differences could not be resolved.
Emphasizing the need for understanding within a marriage, Shubhangi remarked, “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.”
Currently, Shubhangi continues to appear in Bhabiji Ghar Par Hain!, portraying the beloved character Angoori Bhabi, reflecting her ongoing dedication to her craft despite personal challenges.
