In a conversation with Bombay Times, the actress opening about the same, reveals speaking to Piyush a few days before his death and stated that she was praying for his recovery. ''I'm emotional and numb right now.I want to remember Piyush for all the good things. I'll be going to Indore soon to be with his family. Our daughter, Ashi, who is studying in the US, will finish her final exams, after which she'll come here, and then we'll head,'' Shubhangi said.

Opening up on her failed marriage with Poorey, the Bhabiji Ghar Par Hai fame says, ''They assume I left him due to my success, but that's not true. Our separation was a result of years of struggle. I didn't leave because I became successful, I left because his alcohol addiction took a toll on our lives. I tried everything I could to save my marriage, but it was beyond my control. Even sending him to rehab didn't work. Both our families also tried their best to help him, but addiction destroyed him and affected all of us.''

''I had to prioritise my daughter Ashi's well-being, so I made the difficult decision to part ways. It wasn't a decision made overnight. Things started going wrong around 2018-2019, and it eventually led to the divorce in 2025. Even after our divorce, I remained in touch with Piyush and encouraged him to seek help. I also share an extremely cordial relationship with his family,'' the actress further mentions.
