Shilpa Shinde on comparisons with Shubhangi Atre: 'Bhabi ji Ghar Par Hai' was always Shilpa Shinde

Shilpa Shinde dismisses comparisons with Shubhangi Atre, asserting her legacy as the original Angoori Bhabhi in the show's new season.

"Bhabi ji was always Shilpa Shinde, and that is why I am here after ten years. - Shilpa Shinde"

Mumbai, Dec 23

Actress Shilpa Shinde, who is back as Angoori Bhabhi in Bhabiji Ghar Par Hai 2.0, talking to IANS, spoke of how she sees no comparison of herself with the former Angoori Bhabhi, aka Shubhangi Atre.

The actress, talking to IANS, also said how people drawing comparisons between her and Shubhangi Atre don't bother her at all. “I don’t see any comparison at all. I am sorry, but I can’t compare myself with anyone,” said Shilpa.

She added, “Bhabi ji was always Shilpa Shinde, and that is why I am here after ten years. This is not overconfidence; this is my hard work. I have made my own place, and I have proved myself.”

The actress spoke about returning as Angoori Bhabhi and elaborated on whether it was a challenge for her to get into the shoes of the character after 10 years.

“There is no big challenge in this. When I returned to the show, it felt like I was starting the show from where I had left off. So, there wasn’t any particular challenge. The only challenge is that people should see me as this character and not look for Shilpa or Shinde in it. That, for me, is the real challenge.”

She added, “However, story-wise and comedy-wise, I feel it’s important to make a place in people’s hearts, because a lot of things change. There is a slight change in the story, but the fun element will still feel like the streets of Kanpur, even within the haveli. So I think it will be even more enjoyable.

For the uninitiated, Shilpa Shinde will be seen essaying the role of Angoori Bhabhi in the show Bhabi Ji Ghar Par Hai 2.0. The actress who was a part of the TV show in 2016 was later replaced by actress Shubhangi Atre.

Respectfully, I think both actresses brought their own flavor. Shubhangi was also very good and carried the show for years. No need for this "original vs replacement" debate. Let's just enjoy the comedy.

Her confidence is on another level! "Bhabi ji was always Shilpa Shinde" - kya dialogue maara hai! 😂 But she's right, she created that iconic character. Excited for the 2.0 version.

As someone who watched both, Shilpa's comic timing and that innocent expression were unmatched. The show felt different without her. Looking forward to the new episodes!

I appreciate her hard work, but saying "I can't compare myself with anyone" feels a bit dismissive of Shubhangi's contribution. Both are talented. The show is bigger than any one actor.

My whole family is thrilled! My dad still does impressions of her "Oh my god! Tiwari ji!" 😂 Can't wait for the family to gather around the TV again. Pure nostalgia.
