The sight of Shubhangi Atre in a black and pink monokini went viral last week. Fans of the hit sitcom Bhabhi Ji Ghar Par Hain were in for a shock when Shubhangi aka Angoori Bhabhi ditched her sarees for swimwear. Well, since she was on a beach in Krabi, Thailand, it was obvious that she did be in beachwear or something similar. However, the picture got some flak on social media from the menace called trolls. Her Instagram is flooded with comments, which range from good to downright ugly. She is however unfazed by what people feel about her picture.

In a statement to Bombay Times, she said, "What do people expect me to wear on a beach? I obviously can’t be wearing a sari or salwar-kameez. I feel fit and I can pull off a swimsuit. I don’t regret posting the picture; in fact, it wasn’t a planned move. My husband clicked the photograph, and I liked it and posted it. Even on screen, I don’t mind wearing a bikini if a character demands it. If one has a good body, why should there be any qualms about flaunting it?” Earlier, the team of Bhabhi Ji Ghar Par Hain was travelling abroad where she was seen in western wear. Those pictures went viral as well.

Shubhangi further told the paper, “Of course, it feels bad. I don’t think I looked cheap or vulgar. People expect me to be in the Angoori bhabhi costume all the time; often, they are shocked to see me in Western outfits. They need to understand that I am different from the character I play on screen. This is one of the reasons why women are scared of wearing what they want to. I don’t think women should be judged on the basis of their outfits, we need to change our mentality. Sharam and culture aankhon mein hote hain.” Stay tuned to Bollywood Life for more scoop and updates!
