Coping with the news

"Shubhangi and Piyush were not on talking terms. However, she is mourning. She has resumed shooting (for her TV show Bhabiji Ghar Par Hai) on Sunday," a TOI report stated.

Giving marriage a second chance

A TOI report had once stated how the couple wanted to give their marriage a second chance and even tried to make it work but to no avail. The two then understood that it wasn't possible for them to be together. However, for the sake of their daughter, Piyush and Shubhangi started living separately without getting divorced. However, they went ahead with the legal formalities earlier this year and legally parted ways.
