On the occasion of International Yoga Day, popular television actress Shubhangi Atre—best known for her role as Angoori Bhabhi in Bhabiji Ghar Par Hain—opened up about her long-standing connection with yoga. For her, yoga has evolved from just a fitness routine into something far more personal and transformative.“Yoga has been an integral part of my life for years now,” she shared. “What started as a workout session quickly became a wellness practice for me.”As someone who juggles a demanding career and personal responsibilities, Shubhangi revealed how yoga became her anchor in difficult times.“Yoga has helped me maintain the balance well, find calm in chaos, and be at peace even in the most stressful situations,” she said.Talking about her routine, she practices yoga at least three times a week, often more when her schedule allows.“It’s not about pushing my limits, but about listening to what my body and mind need on that day. I begin with a bit of pranayama, followed by a few asanas. Surya Namaskar is something I enjoy because it works on the entire body,” she explained.She always ends her sessions with meditation. “Even if it’s just for five minutes, it helps me check in with myself,” she added. “On some days yoga is for the body, and on some it’s for my mind.”Shubhangi also opened up about the role yoga played during one of the most emotionally challenging times in her life—her divorce.“A few years ago, during my divorce, I went through a very emotionally draining time. But yoga kept me going. That one hour on the mat became like therapy. It didn’t take the pain away, but it helped me process it and find my strength again,” she shared.For Shubhangi Atre, yoga isn’t just movement—it’s healing.
