Mumbai, Oct 23 : Shubhangi Atre, best known for her role as Angoori Bhabhi in the show 'Bhabhiji Ghar Par Hain,' opened up about the challenges of being a single mother while maintaining a thriving acting career.

In an exclusive quote shared with IANS, she shared how she manages to balance her professional commitments with raising her child. Shubhangi emphasized the importance of staying fully present both on set and at home despite the daily pressures and responsibilities.

Speaking about how she manages to balance work and personal life as a single mother, the actress said, 'It's not easy at all. I have to handle everything on my own whether it's finances, home, or my daughter. There are days when it feels overwhelming, but I try to take one day at a time. I make sure that wherever I am on set or at home I'm fully present in that moment.'

When asked about the role of luck in her journey, the actress agrees that it does play a part but not the biggest one.

The actress mentioned, 'My ambition now is to take up roles that challenge me as an actor.
