Shubhangi Atre's ex husband Piyush Poorey passes away

Actress Shubhangi Atre’s former husband, Piyush Poorey, passed away on Saturday after a prolonged battle with liver cirrhosis, we have heard. He was reportedly ailing for some time before his death.

When we reached out to Shubhangi, she replied, “Your thoughtfulness during this time means a great deal to me. I request you to give me some time to talk about this.”

The couple got married in 2003 and was married for 22 years. They were granted a divorce on February 5 this year.

A reliable source shared, “Shubhangi and Piyush were not on talking terms. However, she is mourning. She has resumed shooting (for her TV show Bhabiji Ghar Par Hai) on Sunday.”

Piyush was a digital marketing professional. The two have a daughter named Ashi.

Earlier in an interview with Bombay Times, Shubhangi spoke about her divorce. She had said, “It was painful. I was fully invested in the relationship. 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. Now, I want to focus on my daughter and provide her with a happy and secure environment.”
She had also stated, “It’s been almost a year since we are not living together. Piyush and I tried our best to save our marriage. Mutual respect, companionship, trust, and friendship are the foundation of a strong marriage. However, we eventually realised that we couldn’t resolve our differences and decided to give each other space and concentrate on our individual lives and careers.”
