Shubhangi Atre: When people tell you your show makes them laugh, it’s surreal

Actress Shubhangi Atre says that the ability to bring happiness to people’s lives, to be able to make a difference through your shows is what makes being a celebrity meaningful. She says that she loves it when people appreciate her work. 

Being a single woman and a working professional, handling everything on my own, including shooting schedules, can be overwhelming. However, I rely on the time management skills I learned during my MBA.

“I think the love we get is the most important thing, everything else aside. When you receive love from people and they tell you that your show makes them laugh or brings them joy, it's a beautiful feeling, it’s surreal. Love is truly the best thing,” she says.

Ask her how she strikes a balance between her personal and professional life, and she says, “I'm always very busy, and for me, days and months seem to pass by quickly as if they're mere moments. Being a single woman and a working professional, handling everything on my own, including shooting schedules, can be overwhelming. However, I rely on the time management skills I learned during my MBA. They say education is never wasted, and indeed, it helps me manage everything. Sometimes I get very tired, and I don't even have time for myself, but that's okay because I love what I do.”

However, she adds that she makes sure to guard her private life fiercely. “I'm a private person, and I prefer people to know me for my work—as an actor, an artist, and as a human being. I make an effort to keep it that way. Although there aren't many dramatic events in my life, I still value my privacy. Personal matters are meant to stay personal, so I don't like discussing what I'm going through with others. When I find myself overthinking or in a certain zone, I tend to retreat into my shell and keep to myself. I don't share too much,” she says.
