Shubhangi Atre highlights the need for empowering women through education, independence, and everyday compassion.
She stresses that meaningful social change begins with small, conscious actions and open conversations, especially around mental health.
Shubhangi Atre, who has been part of shows like Kasturi, Do Hanson Ka Jodaa, and Chidiya Ghar, and is popularly known as Angoori Bhabhi in Bhabi Ji Ghar Par Hai, opened up about the social causes closest to her heart and the role individuals can play in creating meaningful change. Speaking thoughtfully, she says, “The cause that touches me the most is women’s education and financial independence. When a woman learns, her confidence changes, her decisions change, and honestly, her entire family begins to grow with her.”
Reflecting on how ordinary people can contribute to social progress, she adds, “People think social change needs big gestures, but it truly begins with how we behave every single day. Even small acts of kindness, teaching a child, helping a neighbour, or simply being respectful can create a ripple effect.”
For those unsure about how to begin supporting a cause, she suggests starting with introspection. “Ask yourself what moves you,” she explains, adding, “Once your heart connects to an issue, you’ll naturally find ways to contribute. Even one small step is enough to begin the journey.”
On the ongoing debate between awareness and action, Shubhangi offers clarity. She says, “Awareness is like planting a seed—it tells people something needs attention. But without action, that seed will never grow. We need both, but awareness must lead to action.”
When asked which issue in India requires immediate focus, Shubhangi is unequivocal. “Mental health needs urgent attention,” she says, adding, “So many people suffer silently because of fear and stigma. We have to normalise conversations around emotional well-being.”
Shubhangi also emphasises that social responsibility should not be restricted to activists or influencers alone. She believes that every citizen, regardless of their background or profession, can contribute meaningfully to society. Whether through empathy, sharing knowledge, or simply listening without judgement, she feels that consistent, collective effort can create long-term impact.
