Bhabhi Ji Ghar Par Hain star Shubhangi Atre is still grappling with the loss of her former husband, Piyush Poorey, who died in April this year. The actor shares that doctors had cautioned them about the potential consequences if Piyush didn't alter his lifestyle and overcome his addiction.

Shubhangi opens up

The actor is seen talking about the death of her former husband in a recent interview. A video of the interview has emerged on social media. In the clip, she is seen getting emotional while talking about Piyush.

She said, “Main yahi kahungi ke bahot hi unfortunate tha... But, I think it is because of addiction. Doctors ne bahot pehle hi bol diya tha ke agar woh apna lifestyle change nahi karenge, toh yeh ho sakta hai (I will just say that it was very unfortunate. Doctors had told him earlier that if he didn't change his lifestyle, this might happen. So, I knew that it might happen, but I had no idea that it would happen so early)”.

She added, “I want to remember him for all the good things. I loved him, and I might never forget about that. Achchi yadoon mein main yaad rakhna chahati ho Piyush ko aur main aaj bhi yahi bolti ho ki Ashi (their daughter) ko bless karte rehna. Hum dono ko guide karte rehna, and that's it (I want to remember Piyush in good memories, and even today I say keep blessing Ashi. Keep guiding both of us, and that's it)”.
