Fans of the long-running sitcom ‘Bhabiji Ghar Par Hain!’ are celebrating the return of the original and much-loved Angoori Bhabhi, played by actress Shilpa Shinde. The makers unveiled the teaser for the new season, ‘Bhabiji Ghar Par Hain 2.0,’ confirming Shinde’s return after a nine-year absence from the show she helped launch.
The character had previously been played by Shubhangi Atre following Shinde’s controversial exit, but the original star’s comeback is creating massive buzz.
New Season, New Spooky Setting
The teaser for Bhabiji Ghar Par Hain 2.0 suggests a major thematic shift. While the original series was rooted in light-hearted, neighborly comedy revolving around two couples in Kanpur and their mutual infatuations, the new season is venturing into the horror-comedy genre.
The teaser transports the four main characters—Angoori, Tiwari, Vibhuti, and Anita—to an unfamiliar village called Ghoonghatganj. The clip climaxes with a chilling moment where an odd-looking statue’s saree slips off and lands directly on Angoori, strongly hinting at the spooky narrative turn.
The official social media caption for the teaser read:
“Ghoonghatganj ki galiyon se ghoonghat uthaake, aa rahi hain asli se bhi asli Bhabhiji hansi ka tadka lagaane. Sahi Pakde Hain!” (Lifting their veils in the lanes of Ghoonghatganj, the most authentic Bhabhijis are on their way to add a dash of laughter. Spot on!)
Fan Reactions Split Over Casting
Shilpa Shinde’s return has generated a wave of excitement, with fans commenting: “Our very own OG Angoori Bhabhi is back—so excited!” and “Finally, OG Bhabhi aa gayi.”
However, the response remains split, as Shubhangi Atre had successfully taken on the role for years. Some fans voiced support for the previous actor, writing comments like, “Shubhangi was the best as Angoori.”
The premiere date for Bhabiji Ghar Par Hain 2.0 is yet to be announced, but the teaser has successfully put the popular sitcom back in the spotlight.
