Actress Shubhangi Atre, popular for playing ‘Angoori Bhabhi’ in “Bhabiji Ghar Par Hain,” is excited to step into the shoes of actor Aasif Sheikh as his on-screen character ‘Vibhuti Narayan Mishra’ in the show.

“I’ll play Vibhuti and Aasif will play Angoori. I’m excited to play a male character for the first time. It’s fun to explore such difficult, but exciting roles,” Shubhangi said in a statement.

The show has completed 1,000 episodes, and the actress feels blessed to be a part of it.

Meanwhile, Shubhangi wants to make her debut in the digital space.
