Shubhangi Atre
, known for playing
Angoori Bhabhi
in Bhabiji Ghar Par Hain, has established herself as a steady presence on Indian television. Her character's catchphrase, 'Sahi pakde hain!', has become widely recognised, and she takes pride in being part of a show that blends humour with mainstream appeal.
She says, 'Laughter is the best medicine. And to be someone who can bring laughter to others through a television show is a beautiful responsibility. That's one of the biggest reasons I continue to be part of a show of this calibre. I genuinely love my character, and I adore the show.'
Shubhangi believes that Angoori's character has been thoughtfully written, which allows her to connect deeply with the role. She shares, 'The character is written with great sensitivity.
Angoori's innocence, quirks, and her distinctive lingo come very naturally to me. The line 'Sahi pakde hain!' has struck a chord with audiences, and I'm humbled by how much people have embraced it.'
She credits producers Binaiferr and
Sanjay Kohli
for creating an environment where actors can thrive. She says, 'Working with Binaiferr and Sanjay Kohli and being part of their production house has been a thoroughly professional experience.

They respect their artists, and my association with them has been long and fulfilling. There's a strong sense of mutual trust and respect, which I really value.'
Interestingly, Shubhangi doesn't look to any one figure for artistic inspiration. She says, 'My inspiration comes from daily life. People, situations, emotions — they all feed into how I shape and develop my performance. I'm drawn to subtle
comedy
, the kind that carries emotional weight and stays with the audience.
That's what I try to bring to the table.'
She acknowledges that while comedy may look easy on the surface, the work that goes into it is anything but. 'Comedy is not easy. It demands precise timing, rhythm, and emotional honesty. I give my 100 per cent to my craft, always. Making people laugh consistently over the years — that's something I consider divine. It's a blessing, and I never take it for granted,' she concludes.

Thug Life vs Housefull 5 Opening Weekend Box Office: Akshay Kumar's comedy dominates Kamal Haasan starrer by a Rs 50 crore margin
Thug Life and Housefull 5 locked horns with one another over the Bakri Eid weekend at the Indian box office. Thug Life released a day earlier than Housefull 5 and grossed Rs 81 crore worldwide over its extended 4 day weekend. Housefull 5 has emerged a clear winner grossing Rs 131 crore worldwide in just 3 days. Let's break down the box office of both films in further detail. Thug Life grossed slightly over Rs 36 crore worldwide on its opening day. Due to poor word of mouth, the film saw a striking drop over the subsequent days. It barely managed to double its opening day over the weekend and that is disastrous. The 4 day India collections of Thug Life stand at an abysmal Rs 40 crore while the film has brought a better, although poor, Rs 41 crore from international markets. The movie is unlikely to touch Rs 100 crore worldwide in its lifetime and that is tragic, given that big Tamil movies are grossing that much on their very first day. Infact, Leo, in advance, grossed more than what Thug Life will, in the full run. Housefull 5 opened to good worldwide collections of a little over Rs 38 crore. It grossed Rs 26.50 crore (Rs 22 crore net) in India, and managed around Rs 12 crore from international markets. The film went from strength to strength over the weekend, growing on Bakri Eid and then also on Sunday. The India gross total of Housefull 5 after 3 days is Rs 95 crore, while it has grossed around Rs 36.50 crores internationally. The weekend collections are the highest for an Akshay Kumar starrer as a lead hero, be it in India, overseas or worldwide. Housefull 5 is holding well in India on Monday. The collections internationally are expected to show bigger drops because the driver of the collections of Housefull 5 over the weekend were the Gulf countries and the Gulf market is more frontloaded. Had it been North America leading the numbers, one could have expected better holds for the comic caper. Regardless, it has done well for itself. The Weekend Box Office Comparison Of Thug Life And Housefull 5 Is As Under Thug Life and Housefull 5 play in theatres near you, now. Stay tuned to Pinkvilla for more updates on both movies.

Mindy Kaling explains her on-screen absence: 'I'm superstitious, but I'm coming back'
If you've been missing Mindy Kaling on your screens lately, you're not alone—and according to Kaling herself, she's been feeling the absence too. The actress recently spoke publicly about stepping away from acting after a frank discussion with The Hollywood Reporter for the Paley Media Council Series on Thursday, June 5. Now 45 and mother to three, Kaling embarks on a new chapter—both in her life and career—while remaining deeply invested in the tales she brings to the screen. Fans of Never Have I Ever have been wondering for years why the co-creator ever declined to make a cameo on the series, particularly since it's based on her very own cultural background as an Indian American raised in Southern California. Kaling finally delivered an explanation that's half practical—and half superstition. A show literally about an Indian American family in Southern California, and if I wasn't on that—what's wrong with me?" she said. "I think there is a part of me that feels a little superstitious. I'm like, 'these seem to have gone well and I'm not in them so maybe I'll wait.'" Kaling explained she's already considering hanging it up in front of the camera, and possibly doing so while sitting in the director's chair as well. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like 5 Books Warren Buffett Wants You to Read In 2025 Blinkist: Warren Buffett's Reading List Undo "I would love to do that again," she said of directing and acting at the same time.

It's apparent that Kaling hasn't lost her passion for acting—she's just patiently waiting for the right time and right project. And although her superstition might have had her off-screen for some time, fans can be certain that her comeback is imminent.
