I am going to play the role of the lead’s aunt who has grey shade to her character. I always look for challenging role and Janki's role is nowhere close to what I've played earlier on television.

ShubhangiAtre aka AngooriBhabhi possessed!

The nation’s favourite Bhabhi, AngooriBhabhi aka ShubhangiAtre from BhabhijiGhar Par Hainis adored by her fans for her innocence and chirpy behavior. While viewers have always seen her being shy and docile, this week she is all set to shock everyone with her evil avatar as a Thakurain. It so happens that Teeka and Malkan come across a ‘payal’ which AngooriBhabhi lands up wearing. Immediately, her behavior changes as she is seen dancing and walking around alone eerily. Tiwari (Rohitash Gaud) too is perplexed on seeing her unusual actions. It is soon revealed that she has been possessed by the spirit of a Thakurain who has returned to avenge her death. 

Shubhangi’s look for the sequence is similar to VidyaBalan’s from BhootBhulaiya. Speaking about preparing for the role Shubhangi shared, “The role was extremely challenging for me as it was something I had never done before. My character had dialogues in Urdu which I had to learn. Also, the look is drastically different from that of Angoori’s. It is inspired from VidyaBalan’sManjulika look from BhoolBhulaiya. Since in the sequence it is shown that the character has a royal past, I had to act like a Thakurian which was little tough.” She further added “Another challenge for me was to make my voice sound a little hoarse. My voice is very soft but the character was very bold and strong. It sounds very different from how I do in real life. So I had to practice for hours to get into the character”

Is AngooriBhabhi’s life in danger? To find out tune in on BhabhijiGhar Par Hain, Monday to Friday at 10:30 pm only on
