In a surprising turn of events, Shilpa Shinde, the original Angoori Bhabhi from the popular sitcom "Bhabi Ji Ghar Par Hai," is reportedly in talks to return to the show, nine years after her controversial exit. Sources indicate that the show's producers are planning a major revamp, including a new set, fresh storylines, and an overall updated feel, branding it as "Bhabi Ji Ghar Par Hai 2.0". The reboot is expected to commence by mid-December 2025.
Shinde's departure from the show in 2016 was marked by a public fallout over contractual disagreements. Following her exit, Shubhangi Atre stepped into the role of Angoori Bhabhi and has been playing the character since then. The potential return of Shinde would mark a significant change for the show and its fans.
The decision to bring back Shinde is reportedly driven by a desire to revitalize the show and attract a new audience after a decade of success. A source associated with the show revealed that the decision was made because everyone feels the show needs a revival. The channel aims to introduce new elements and characters to refresh "Bhabi Ji Ghar Par Hai".
Since leaving "Bhabi Ji Ghar Par Hai," Shinde has made limited appearances on television. She won Bigg Boss 11 in early 2018 and participated in Khatron Ke Khiladi 14. If she returns to "Bhabi Ji Ghar Par Hai," it would be her first full-time television comeback in nearly a decade.
Shinde's absence from regular television projects was a conscious choice, as she stated in a previous interview that she was waiting for an offer that truly excited her. She emphasized her desire to be selective about her work and not accept every project that comes her way.
While neither Binaiferr Kohli (the producer) nor Shilpa Shinde have commented on the matter, sources suggest that discussions are underway and there is hope that the deal will materialize. The anticipated revamp involves building a new set and introducing significant changes to the storyline.
Shilpa Shinde rose to fame portraying Angoori Bhabhi, becoming a household name. Her possible return to the show has generated considerable excitement among fans. If the deal goes through, viewers can anticipate a refreshed "Bhabi Ji Ghar Par Hai" with Shinde reclaiming her iconic role.
