Falaq Naaz SLAMS Shilpa Shinde over remarks on Shubhangi Atre
Television actress Falaq Naaz has strongly called out Shilpa Shinde over her recent comments about Shubhangi Atre, triggering a fresh debate within the TV industry. The controversy has once again put the spotlight on the iconic character of Angoori Bhabhi from the long-running sitcom Bhabiji Ghar Par Hai and the actresses who have portrayed it over the years.
The issue began after Shilpa Shinde, the original Angoori Bhabhi, made a remark during a recent interview suggesting that comedy is “not everyone’s genre” while speaking about Shubhangi Atre’s time on the show. The statement did not go down well with many, especially considering that Shubhangi played the role for nearly a decade and became a household favourite during her tenure. – Falaq Naaz SLAMS Shilpa Shinde over remarks on Shubhangi Atre
In another interaction, Shilpa further stated that she cannot be compared to anyone, adding that she continues to remain part of the industry even after 10 years. These comments drew sharp reactions from several quarters, with Falaq Naaz emerging as one of the strongest voices in defence of Shubhangi Atre.
Taking to social media, Falaq expressed her disappointment without holding back. She wrote that while Shilpa had exited the show years ago with a “Tata bye bye,” it was Shubhangi who carried the character with dedication, sincerity, and grace for all those years. Falaq questioned why appreciation and respect were missing, stating that if she were in Shilpa’s place, she would have thanked Shubhangi for keeping the character alive and returning it without controversy. She concluded by calling the tone of the remarks rude rather than confident, describing the situation as deeply unfortunate. – Falaq Naaz SLAMS Shilpa Shinde over remarks on Shubhangi Atre
Falaq’s post quickly gained traction online, with a large section of viewers and industry followers applauding her for speaking up. Many fans echoed her sentiments, pointing out that Shubhangi Atre not only sustained the popularity of Angoori Bhabhi but also played a key role in maintaining the sitcom’s strong viewership for years. Several netizens felt that dismissive comments undermined the years of effort that went into sustaining such a beloved character.
Shubhangi Atre, who stepped into the role after Shilpa’s departure, became synonymous with Angoori Bhabhi for a significant portion of the audience. Her portrayal was widely appreciated and often credited for the show’s longevity. Recently, however, she was replaced, paving the way for Shilpa Shinde’s return—an announcement that had already divided fans even before the latest controversy erupted.
While Shilpa Shinde has yet to respond to Falaq Naaz’s strong statement, the incident has reignited conversations around professional courtesy, mutual respect, and acknowledging the contributions of fellow actors in long-running television shows. The debate continues to trend online, serving as a reminder that words spoken lightly can carry lasting weight in an industry built on collaboration and shared creative journeys.
