Mumbai’s television darling Shubhangi Atre, currently buzzing with her upcoming film ‘Bhabiji Ghar Par Hai’, has dropped a bombshell about the entertainment industry’s so-called friendships. In a candid revelation on Balaji Telefilms’ popular podcast ‘Honestly, Why Not?’, the actress laid bare the truth: there are no best friends in this cutthroat world.
The host didn’t hold back, probing if she’d ever fibbed in interviews about being thick as thieves with co-stars. Shubhangi responded with brutal honesty. ‘Look, nobody here has a best friend,’ she declared. ‘Competition and insecurities run rampant. You’re best buddies while the show’s running, but the moment you wrap up, those ties vanish. You move on to your next chapter.’
She elaborated on the actor’s life, calling it a journey of constant self-discovery. ‘That’s the beauty of being an actor – you’re always exploring and understanding yourself anew.’ Yet, she clarified, the ‘best friend’ concept simply doesn’t exist. ‘Sure, we bond like family on set, but that’s where it ends.’
The conversation took a fun turn when the host asked about post-scene squabbles forcing awkward re-shoots. Laughing it off, Shubhangi shared her professional mantra. ‘Bickerings happen, but I’ve never refused to work. When I’m in character, everything else fades away. I love my job and dive into it with full passion.’
Her words resonate with many in the industry, highlighting the transient nature of showbiz relationships. As Shubhangi gears up for her big screen venture, fans are reminded that behind the glamour, it’s every actor for themselves.
