Shubhangi Atre and Piyush Poorey
Actor Shubhangi Atre's ex-husband, Piyush Poorey, recently passed away after suffering from liver cirrhosis. Now, days after his demise, Atre talked about the reason for their separation and shared that Piyush was an alcohol addict. Shubhangi parted ways with Piyush in February this year.
In conversation with Times of India, Shubhangi shared that she spoke to Piyush on April 16 and said, "It's easy for people to judge without knowing the full story. They assume I left him due to my success, but that's not true. Our separation was a result of years of struggle. I didn't leave because I became successful, I left because his alcohol addiction took a toll on our lives. I tried everything I could to save my marriage, but it was beyond my control. Even sending him to rehab didn't work. Both our families also tried their best to help him, but addiction destroyed him and affected all of us."
