Amid hype for her silver screen debut in ‘Bhabiji Ghar Par Hai’, television sensation Shubhangi Atre has stirred the pot with her candid views on industry friendships. On the Balaji Telefilms podcast ‘Honestly, Why Not?’, she declared outright: best friends don’t exist in entertainment.
The host’s pointed question about faking closeness with co-actors in press meets prompted a forthright reply. ‘High competition breeds deep insecurities,’ Shubhangi explained. ‘You’re inseparable on a project, but off it, bonds fade as new journeys begin. Acting’s gift is ongoing self-exploration – no need for labeled friendships.’
She emphasized the on-set family dynamic persists only while cameras roll. Transitioning to lighter territory, the discussion hit on post-fight reshoots. Grinning, she shared, ‘We’ve had our share of banter, but walking away from work? Impossible. In character, I forget it all. My love for acting fuels every take.’
These insights from Shubhangi underscore the pragmatic side of show business, where professional ties overshadow personal ones. As she steps into films, her grounded perspective sets her apart in a sea of superficiality.
