I was very happy that I'm moving to Mumbai and felt that I could achieve my dreams. But once I moved here, I was told that married women are not considered as heroine material. But I kept on trying my best and today I'm blessed. My husband and family were very supportive all this while.”
Shubhangi further added, “I've been totally filmy since my childhood. And I will remain the same till my last breath. I was very sure that I wanted to become an actress, since a very young age. I remember my family, neighbours and friends used to call me a heroine. And I use to blush a lot. I used to watch three to four movies whenever I had a holiday. And use to see TV shows on a regular basis.”
Meanwhile, other than ‘Bhabiji Ghar Par Hain’, she is also popular for starring in ‘Do Hanson Ka Jodaa’, ‘Chidiya Ghar’, ‘Adhuri Kahaani Hamari’ and others.
