Who Is Shubhangi Atre's Ex-Husband Piyush Poorey? Know All About His Marriage, Divorce And Death

Shubhangi Atre's ex-husband, Piyush Poorey, passed away on Saturday after a prolonged battle with liver cirrhosis. He had been struggling with health issues for some time leading up to his demise.

Shubhangi Atre tied the knot with Piyush Poorey in 2003. She made her television debut in 2007 with Ekta Kapoor’s popular daily soap Kasautii Zindagii Kay, and soon after, she landed the lead role in Kasturi. However, it was her portrayal of Angoori Bhabhi in Bhabiji Ghar Par Hain that made her a household name.

Two years into their marriage, Shubhangi and Piyush were blessed with a daughter, Ashi. At the time, Shubhangi's daughter was only 11 months old when the actress moved to Mumbai from Pune.

In a 2022 interview with Times of India, Shubhangi Atre shared, "When I got shows like Kasautii Zindagii Kay and Kasturi, Piyush left his job so that I could pursue acting. Later when I settled down a bit and we figured out our schedules, he resumed work."

Shubhangi Atre and her husband, Piyush Poorey, parted ways after 22 years of marriage. Their divorce was legally finalized just two months before his passing.

In a recent interview with Times of India, reflecting on the difficult decision, Shubhangi shared, "It was painful. I was fully invested in the relationship. That's the kind of person I have always been. Over time, Piyush and I developed irreconcilable differences. However, now, I'm out of that marriage, and I feel a sense of peace as if a heavy burden has been lifted. There's a newfound sense of freedom, and it's hard to put these emotions into words. Now, I want to focus on my daughter, Ashi, and provide her with a happy and secure environment."

Speaking about the untimely demise of her ex-husband, Piyush Poorey, Shubhangi Atre opened up in a conversation with Times of India, she said, "Your thoughtfulness during this time means a great deal to me. I request you to give me some time to talk about this."
