Shubhangi Atre Poorey is a face that barely needs an introduction. The widely acknowledged and accepted television actress caught the nation’s right nerve with her Sahi Pakde Hai dialogue. Better known as Angoori Bhabhi of Bhabi Ji Ghar Par Hain, Shubhangi and her antics are one of the mainstays of the sitcom. The show is easily one of the best things that ever happened to the television scene in India.

While Vibhuti and Manmohan battle it out on our screens to know more about the gorgeous Angoori, we did a little digging too. Here’s what our arduous research revealed:

Education was always the priority where Shubhangi comes from. Albeit she watered her dream of facing the flashes simultaneously, a lack of contacts in the industry kept her away for long. She also did her MBA in Marketing from IMS, Indore. But the heart wants what it wants! 

Women in the world of showbiz tend to part ways with their silver screen journey soon after tying the knot. Several actresses have quit acting after marriage. But Shubhangi has set a beautiful example for all the actresses, reaffirming that not just heroes but even heroines have a longer screen life, even after they have a family. She got married to husband Piyush Poorey in 2006, has a beautiful daughter Ashi and began acting when her little one was 7-months-old. Know what we are talking about now? 

She may not hold a formal degree in acting but her biggest source of expressions and the on-screen magic is Shubhangi’s training in the dance form Kathak for over 15 years. Where do we sign to give her the trophy already? 

Shubhangi doesn’t hail from a film background. But she always knew that was where she belonged. She has watched her favourite filmmaker Mahesh Bhatt’s Arth innumerable times and is a big fan of veteran actress Shabana Azmi. She also loves Imtiaz Ali and Anurag Kashyap’s work. Need we add more to her credibility? She learnt it from the best. 

Much in sync with her on-screen persona, Shubhangi leads a simple lifestyle in real life too. The actress starts her day with a pooja and apparently travels from her residence in Dahisar, Mumbai to her show’s sets in Naigaon on foot. Best Cardio Ever! 

Her love for the simplest joys is what makes her so damn alluring! Shubhangi is a typical dal-roti type of girl and prefers having the combination for lunch. She also carries nuts and fruits to munch on in between shots!

Sahi Pakde Hai! The show plot may have Vibhuti crushing over his neighbour Angoori Bhabhi but in reality, Shubhangi is a fan of Vibhuti aka Aasif Sheikh.
