Shilpa Shinde (left) will be replaced by Shubhangi Atre (right) to play Angoori Devi in the show.

Finally, the 'Bhabi Ji' makers have found an apt replacement for Shilpa as Angoori Devi on the show, and it's Shubhangi Atre.

For over a month, this TV controversy has been blown out of proportion. The curious case of a fight between the actress and the TV producer of Bhabi Ji Ghar Par Hai snowballed, after its lead heroine Shilpa Shinde decided to unceremoniously quit the show. Without prior information, Shilpa walked out of the show, leaving producer Binaifer Kohli fuming. 

Now, after a few legal notices and a legal battle in place, Kohli has found an apt replacement for Shilpa on the show. It will be Shubhangi Atre who will be seen stepping into Shilpa's shoes to play Angoori Devi in the show.

Don't know who she is? Here's all you need to know about the actress. 

Balaji debut

Like most successful TV stars, it was Ekta Kapoor's Balaji Productions which introduced Shubhangi into the world of showbiz. Her first TV break came in the form of Kasautii Zindagii Kay where she played Palchin's role and was paired opposite Karanvir Bohra and later with Vikas Sethi. 

Most remembered as Kasturi

It was a few years later that she landed the lead role in another TV series. Playing Kasturi in the show named after her character, Shubhangi soon became a household name. She also played the lead in Rajshri's Do Hanson Ka Joda, a show that she's also remembered for. 

Current running show on &TV

Shubhangi is currently doing another show on &TV. She is playing the role of Devsena opposite Nitin Sahrawat in the channel's newly launched show Adhuri Kahaani Hamari. And we believe it was her great rapport with Ekta Kapoor and the channel which helped her bag this show as well. 

Not the first time!

While on Bhabi Ji, she will be seen as a replacement to Shilpa Shinde, ironically, this is not the first time Shubhangi has taken Shilpa's place. Even in Chidiyaghar, after Shilpa's exit, the makers cast Shubhangi as Koyal. It looks like Shilpa's loss is turning out to be Shubhangi's gain. For the second time already!
