Actress Shubhangi Atre, who replaced actress Shilpa Shinde in popular comedy show "Bhabhiji Ghar Par Hain", says joining a show in between is a "big challenge".

This was not the first time when Shubhangi joined a show in between. Earlier she replaced Shilpa in TV show "Chidiya Ghar".

"It's a big challenge to join a show in between. I feel doing a show from the starting is easier," Shubhangi told IANS during her visit to the capital on Tuesday.

"In fact when I went to meet the producers, I thought they have called me for a new show. I didn't know that they have called me to play Angoori Bhabhi. But then they convinced me and I accepted the show," added Shubhangi, who was joined by her co-stars Aashif Sheikh, Saumya Tandon and Rohitash Gaud.

Shubhangi was not "scared" of joining the TV show and took it as a responsibility.

"I did it happily. I got a lot of support from my co-stars. I am enjoying the show thoroughly and it has been a wonderful journey till now. It was a huge challenge and responsibility for me," she said.

"Everyone working in this show is there from the beginning, but I had to establish myself as I joined in between. It was a responsibility on me to match up with others. I didn't want to look fake in the show. Thankfully audience has accepted me. Now I am enjoying playing this role," she added.
