Shubhangi Atre Was Reportedly Not in Touch with Her Ex
A close source revealed that Shubhangi and Piyush were not in communication prior to his passing. Despite the emotional toll, Shubhangi reportedly resumed shooting for her television show just a day after his death, showing her professional commitment amid personal grief.

Actress Reflects on Her Divorce and Emotional Journey
In earlier interviews, the actress opened up about her separation, describing the experience as emotionally painful. She told a publication, “I was fully invested in the relationship. Over time, Piyush and I developed irreconcilable differences.”
She further added that leaving the marriage brought her a sense of peace, as if a heavy weight had been lifted off her shoulders. Her current focus, she said, is on raising her daughter in a happy and secure environment.
Shubhangi mentioned that they had stopped living together nearly a year ago. Despite multiple attempts to reconcile, the differences between them proved to be unresolvable.
The actress emphasized that mutual respect, trust, friendship, and companionship are vital in any marriage, and the lack of these led them to part ways amicably.
