Bhabhiji Ghar Par Hain actor Shubhangi Atre lost her ex-husband Piyush Poorey in April, this year. He passed away after a prolonged battle with liver cirrhosis, just two months post their divorce. Now, in a recent interview, she revealed that the doctors had already given a warning to them about the possible risks, if he didn’t make changes in his lifestyle and overcome his alcohol addiction.

During a conversation with a reporter from Viral Bhayani’s team, Shubhangi was seen getting visibly emotional while talking about Piyush. She said, “Main yahi kahungi ke bahot hi unfortunate tha… But, I think it is because of addiction. Doctors ne bahot pehle hi bol diya tha ke agar woh apna lifestyle change nahi karenge, toh yeh ho sakta hai (I will just say that it was very unfortunate. Doctors had told him earlier that if he didn’t change his lifestyle, this might happen. So, I knew that it might happen, but I had no idea that it would happen so early).”

Achchi yadoon mein main yaad rakhna chahati ho Piyush ko aur main aaj bhi yahi bolti ho ki Ashi (their daughter) ko bless karte rehna. Hum dono ko guide karte rehna, and that’s it (I want to remember Piyush in good memories, and even today I say keep blessing Ashi. Keep guiding both of us, and that’s it).”
