Shubhangi Atre, the beloved face of TV now transitioning to films with ‘Bhabiji Ghar Par Hai’, isn’t mincing words about friendships in the entertainment sector. Her recent stint on Balaji Telefilms’ ‘Honestly, Why Not?’ podcast has sparked discussions, as she asserted that true best friendships are a rarity in this competitive arena.
Responding to queries about hyping co-star relationships in interviews, the actress painted a realistic picture. ‘Insecurities and rivalry are everywhere,’ she noted. ‘Shows create close-knit groups, but they disintegrate post-wrap-up. Life moves on, and so do the relationships.’ She views acting as an endless quest for self-awareness, rendering permanent ‘BFFs’ unnecessary.
‘We function as a family unit during production,’ she conceded, ‘but best friend status? Not happening.’
Laughter ensued when talk turned to set clashes spilling into reshoots. ‘Sparks fly sometimes,’ Shubhangi admitted merrily, ‘but I’ve never balked at returning to scene. Character immersion wipes the slate clean – I adore my craft and embrace it wholeheartedly.’
Shubhangi’s revelations offer a sobering glimpse into the transient bonds of stardom, urging fans to see beyond the publicized ‘gal-pals’ narratives. With her film on the horizon, she’s proving resilience defines success.
