Why Parag Tyagi Took His Dog For A Walk After Shefali Jariwala's Death? Real Reason Out
Paras Chhabra says since Shefali was very close to her dog, Parag's responsibility towards him increased even more after her death.
Hours after Shefali Jariwala's sudden death last month, her husband, actor Parag Tyagi, was seen stepping out with their pet dog. In no time, the video went viral on social media with netizens trolling and questioning Parag's actions following his wife's demise. Many even called him 'insensitive". Now, Paras Chhabra, who was close friends with both Parag and Shefali, has opened up about the viral video and explained the details of the emotional aftermath.
In an interview with IANS, Paras addressed the criticism around the viral video and urged everyone to understand Parag's mental state. He stated that since Shefali was very close to her dog, Parag's responsibility towards him increased even more after her death.
'Shefali and Parag were very close to their pet. He was a family member to them. Three members were living together in a house, and one of them is suddenly gone. In such a situation, you should understand Parag's mental state. He would want to keep him even closer and very close to his heart. There is a sense of fear and longing at the same time. People might think it's strange, but since I know them closely, I understood his psychology. Moreover, their pet has grown old and cannot see properly. So, Parag's responsibility towards him increases even more," Paras said.
The Bigg Boss 13 contestant further explained that dogs are very sensitive and they sense when something is wrong around them. 'Dogs are very sensitive—they can feel when something is wrong. The pet also knew that Shefali is no more. He was visibly sad and affected by her passing," he added.
Shefali Jariwala became a household name in the early 2000s with her sizzling performance in the remix video Kaanta Laga, earning her the moniker 'Kaanta Laga Girl." She later featured in Salman Khan 's Mujhse Shaadi Karogi. In later years, Shefali transitioned to reality TV and gained popularity through her participation in Nach Baliye with her husband, and later, Bigg Boss 13.
The actress passed away on June 27. While the exact cause of her death is yet to be officially confirmed, the initial medical reports suggest that self-medication and unsupervised anti-ageing treatments may have contributed to the cardiac arrest. Police are currently investigating the ingredients and dosage of the IV drip and medication consumed.

Tourist Family | Song - Aachaley After directorial success, Abishan steps into the spotlight This new venture, which marks Abishan's official foray into acting, will reportedly be directed by a close associate from his Tourist Family crew. While the title is said to be in English, and Anaswara Rajan is rumoured to play the female lead, no formal announcements have been made so far, according to IANS. Love for 'Tourist Family' Tourist Family, released on May 1, surprised many with its feel-good charm and exceptional box office performance. Featuring Sasikumar and Simran in lead roles, the film also starred Yogi Babu, M.S. Bhaskar, Ramesh Thilak, and others in a wholesome narrative that connected with family audiences. ETimes gave the movie a rating of 2.5 stars out of 5 and our review read, "The film finds its anchor in the central performances. Their natural chemistry is a definite plus. The younger son, played by Kamalesh, also provides moments of genuine levity (though sometimes his chatter grates), and the film's use of authentic Sri Lankan Tamil dialect adds a valuable layer of realism to their interactions. 'Tourist Family' is a gentle look at the challenges of starting over, even if the narrative feels somewhat formulaic."

'Border 2': Bhushan Kumar accused of using influence to lift Diljit Dosanjh's ban for the film
Diljit Dosanjh 's ban from FWICE has been lifted, permitting him to work on the movie "Border-2." The federation added that Diljit has been given permission to work exclusively on "Border 2" and that the limitations will not be lifted for other projects. FWICE president B. N. Tiwari disclosed in an exclusive interview with IANS that the "Border 2" makers, T-Series, put pressure on them to remove the Diljit ban. "If considering a request is pressure, then it can be called that," Tiwari told IANS. "We have good relations with T-Series. We visited them four times and warned them that they could not continue with the shoot, but they kept on asking us for a chance. They were unable to find a different combination of artists for their film. When they showed their incapability, it was our duty to come up with a solution, as it was our country's money at stake. " The "Border 2" producer had sent a letter asking them to allow Diljit to appear in the film, the FWICE president added. He added that since most of the filming had already been finished and it would have been challenging to find a different cast for the war drama, the filmmakers urged them to allow Diljit to appear in the film. The filmmakers also told them that it would be very challenging to replace Diljit because they had already filmed the majority of the action scenes. In response to criticism of Diljit for collaborating with Pakistani actress Hania Aamir on "Sardaar Ji 3," FWICE wrote a letter to Anurag Singh , Bhushan Kumar , JP Dutta, and Nidhi Dutta requesting that Diljit be taken out of the film. The letter stated, "The Federation of Western India Cine Employees (FWICE), representing the core workforce of the Indian film and television industry, is deeply disappointed and concerned by the casting of actor-singer Mr. Diljit Dosanjh in your upcoming film Border 2, produced under the banner of JP Films in collaboration with T-Series and directed by Mr. Anurag Singh. By choosing to collaborate with an artist who has so brazenly ignored the ongoing tensions and national sentiment, your production has directly undermined the stand taken by the Indian film industry in solidarity with the nation.
