Sourabh Raaj Jain slams Shilpa Shinde over remarks about Shubhangi Atre: “You lack basic decency”

Television actor Sourabh Raaj Jain has come out in support of Shubhangi Atre after controversial remarks made by Shilpa Shinde about her role as Angoori Bhabhi in the popular sitcom Bhabi Ji Ghar Par Hai. Shilpa’s comments, made during a recent interaction, sparked backlash online, prompting Sourabh to publicly express his disapproval.

Taking to social media, Sourabh Raaj Jain criticised the remarks without naming Shilpa directly, stating that such comments reflected a lack of basic decency. Sourabh wrote, “Replaced actor entertained audience for around 10 years, being loved throughout, and for whatever reasons, when the first actor again steps into the same character, which she let go for whatever reasons 10 years back, tells media… the replaced actor isn’t as big as her and lacks comic timing. No ma’am, it’s YOU who lack basic decency… IYKYK (sic)."

“Why I am sharing this… It’s for the learning for myself and for all like-minded people. It’s humility that counts; everything else is transient (sic)," he added.

Shilpa Shinde, who originally played Angoori Bhabhi before exiting the show, had reportedly made dismissive comments about Shubhangi’s long association with the character following her own return to the series. Her statements did not go down well with fans of the show, many of whom felt that Shubhangi’s contribution was being undermined.
