Bhabiji Ghar Par Hain! actor Shubhangi Atre said she divorced Peeyush Poorey last year after 19 years of marriage. Speaking on a Hauterrfly podcast, Atre said Poorey’s drinking intensified over the years and he became an alcoholic and increasingly irritable. She said the couple had initially drunk in social settings, but she did not realise when his alcohol use worsened. Atre said marriage required emotional and financial growth, which she felt had stopped. Atre said there was no abuse in the marriage and described the divorce as amicable. The couple, who married in 2003 after meeting in Indore during college, have a daughter, Ashi. Atre became widely known for playing Angoori Bhabhi in the television sitcom for nearly nine years.
