In the glittering yet gritty world of Indian television, Shubhangi Atre is making waves not just for her role in the anticipated movie ‘Bhabiji Ghar Par Hai’, but for her unfiltered take on industry camaraderie. Appearing as a guest on the insightful podcast ‘Honestly, Why Not?’ by Balaji Telefilms, the actress debunked the myth of everlasting showbiz bonds.

When pressed on whether she’s exaggerated co-star friendships in media chats, Shubhangi cut straight to the chase. Competition and mutual insecurities dominate, she explained, fostering temporary alliances at best. ‘On a daily soap, we’re like one big happy family. But step off that set, and poof – the connections dissolve as you chase new horizons.’

Reflecting deeper, she praised acting as a path of perpetual personal growth. ‘No room for ‘besties’ here,’ she added firmly, though acknowledging the familial vibe during shoots.

The host then delved into on-set tensions: arguments after intense scenes leading to reluctant re-teams. With a chuckle, Shubhangi dismissed any drama. ‘Sure, there have been tiffs, but quitting a scene? Never. Immersed in my role, past grudges evaporate. My passion for performing keeps me going strong.’

This eye-opening interview sheds light on the professional realities of Tinseltown, where survival trumps sentimentality. Shubhangi’s forthrightness cements her as a voice of authenticity amid the facade.
