Baba Ramdev makes contentious remarks about Shefali Jariwala's sudden death: ‘Hardware was fine, software was faulty'; netizens say, ‘Stop this bullsh*t'
During an interview with NDTV, Ramdev said that a normal human being's lifespan was 'not 100 years, but 150-200 years'. He said, 'Humans have put so much burden on their brain, heart, eyes, and liver that people are now eating the food that is eaten in 100 years in just 25 years. Humans do not know how to manage themselves. If you keep doing well, then it is true that you will not grow old till 100 years. Discipline in food and good lifestyle are very important.'
When asked about recent young deaths of Shefali Jariwala and actor Siddharth Shukla, he said, 'The hardware was fine, the software was faulty. The symptoms were fine, the system was faulty.' Citing his own example as a 60-year-old, who practices yoga, diet, and good lifestyle, Ramdev added, 'A person should be completely satisfied in life. Your food, diet, thoughts, and your physical structure must be right. Every cell of our body has a natural age. When you interfere with it, then it creates disasters internally, resulting in conditions like a heart attack. If a person stays connected to his original DNA, then he is fine. There is a difference in this superficial appearance. Appearing to be one and being one are different.'

Baba Ramdev's contentious remarks following 42-year-old Shefali Jariwala's death are being condemned on social media. Netizens called out his 'insensitive' words and slammed him in the comments section of an Instagram post. 'Let her soul rest in peace and let her family grieve in peace. Stop this bullshit,' a user wrote. Another one commented, 'Stop rubbish, Let the soul rest in peace.' 'Pls let her be..even vultures and hyenas don't do this..we are killing her again and again , whatever the reason, let her go,' a comment read.
Investigation into Shefali Jariwala's death is underway. According to the research, the actor took a Vitamin-C IV drip hours before she died, which was also confirmed later by her friend Pooja Ghai in an interview. Several reports also claimed that she passed away due to a cardiac arrest, caused by low blood pressure because she took anti-ageing supplements and skin glow tablets while fasting and without a doctor's consultation.

Baba Ramdev Makes SHOCKING Comment On Shefali Jariwala's Death: 'Hardware Fine, Software Faulty'
Reportedly, Shefali Jariwala had been consuming anti-ageing medicines, including glutathione and vitamin infusions, for the last seven to eight years. Shefali Jariwala's sudden death not only left everyone shocked and numb but has also sparked a debate about botox, fillers and all other skin treatments. Reportedly, the actress, who passed away last week, had been consuming anti-ageing medicines, including glutathione and vitamin infusions, for the last seven to eight years. While it remains unclear if side effects from these medicines resulted in a cardiac arrest, a number of people have already started creating awareness about it. Amid all this, Baba Ramdev also joined a debate around the consumption of anti-ageing supplements and following lifestyle habits on NDTV. During the interaction, the yoga practitioner claimed that a normal human being's lifespan was 'not 100 years, but 150-200 years" and said, 'Humans have put so much burden on their brain, heart, eyes, and liver that people are now eating the food that is eaten in 100 years in just 25 years. Humans do not know how to manage themselves. If you keep doing well, then it is true that you will not grow old till 100 years. Discipline in food and good lifestyle are very important." Baba Ramdev then cited Shefali Jariwala's death and added, 'The hardware was fine, the software was faulty. The symptoms were fine, the system was faulty." He then highlighted the importance of a healthy lifestyle and shared, 'A person should be completely satisfied in life. Your food, diet, thoughts, and your physical structure must be right. Every cell of our body has a natural age. When you interfere with it, then it creates disasters internally, resulting in conditions like a heart attack. If a person stays connected to his original DNA, then he is fine. There is a difference in this superficial appearance. Appearing to be one and being one are different." 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.

Shefali Jariwala death: India's billion-dollar anti-ageing industry explained in numbers
On the night of June 27, Shefali Jariwala, best known as the 'Kaanta Laga Girl', collapsed in her Mumbai home and was declared dead just hours later at a hospital. She was only 42. While preliminary reports said a cardiac arrest caused her death, sources close to the investigation suggest a far more troubling reason: a cocktail of anti-ageing injections, allegedly self-administered while she was a final autopsy report is yet to be published, her sudden, unexplained death has put a spotlight on India's fast-growing and largely unregulated anti-ageing industry, a booming market that promises youth but often comes with a risk.A billion-dollar obsessionYouth is no longer just a stage of life — it's increasingly becoming a commodity. Globally, the anti-ageing market was worth nearly $50 billion in 2024 and is expected to touch $80 billion by 2032, growing at a steady pace of six per cent annually. A big chunk of that growth is powered by injectables, particularly botulinum toxin, popularly known as Botox, which alone is expanding at a compound annual growth rate of 8.7 per cent. In 2024, more than 7.9 million Botox procedures were performed worldwide, making it the most popular non-invasive cosmetic treatment on the planet. Close behind were hyaluronic acid fillers and laser hair removal, part of a growing range of treatments designed to smooth, tighten, and lift plasma-rich facials to peptide therapy and ultrasound-based skin tightening, the options for 'pausing' age are expanding rapid rise in the cosmetic raceIndia is no longer on the fringes of this global beauty economy. According to the latest ISAPS Global Survey, India ranked among the top 10 countries globally for aesthetic/cosmetic procedures, trailing only global leaders like the US, Brazil, and to India Today, Dr Somesh Gupta, professor of dermatology and venereology at AIIMS, New Delhi, said that India's anti-ageing industry remains largely unregulated, and even where rules exist, they are rarely enforced on the ground.'Many individuals are offering these procedures purely as a source of easy income, often without medical training,' he said. 'Beauticians using lasers can cause serious harm, including skin burns.' Dr Gupta noted that patients are increasingly coming from across the country seeking help for hair loss, pigmentation, and early signs of ageing, making it one of the fastest-growing sectors in flagged the misuse of glutathione (the substance that Shefali Jariwala allegedly used), a compound not approved for skin-lightening or self-medication, warning that such unsupervised treatments could lead to severe adverse reactions. 'We've even seen fatalities during procedures like hair transplants,' he just one year, India saw a dramatic 25 per cent surge in total procedures, from 1.02 million in 2023 to 1.29 million in 2024. That's more than 3.4 per cent of all procedures performed globally. And India's ascent in cosmetic medicine isn't just about volume. The country now stands second globally in rhinoplasty and scar revision surgeries, popular with younger age groups, especially Gen-Z and millennials. India is also among the top five globally for procedures like chemical peels, liposuction, and skin non-surgical procedures, hair removal was the top treatment in 2024, with more than 208,000 procedures in India — the highest in the world — followed by hyaluronic acid fillers (97,160 procedures), chemical peels (85,120), and Botox injections (76,720). Surgical procedures are also seeing significant traction. Scar revision topped the list with over 106,000 procedures, followed by liposuction (97,160) and rhinoplasty (67,760).'In aesthetics and anti-ageing, less is more,' said Dr Neha Taneja, an assistant professor of dermatology at AIIMS Delhi. 'Treatments should never be overdone. What's necessary must be carefully decided in consultation with a qualified dermatologist or plastic surgeon.'She noted that the most common procedures today include fillers, skin boosters, and microneedling, with patients often starting as early as ages 22–25. However, Dr Taneja warned that injectables and IV-based treatments, if taken in high concentrations or without supervision, could disrupt blood chemistry and, over time, impact vital organs like the liver and patients, local surgeonsIndia is not just serving its own. It's becoming a global hub for medical tourism in aesthetics. Around eight per cent of all cosmetic surgery patients in India now come from abroad. According to ISAPS, the US, the UK, and Australia are the top countries of origin, a testament to India's growing number of plastic surgeons and significantly lower currently has around 2,800 plastic surgeons, representing 4.8 per cent of the global total, on par with South Korea, one of the world's most advanced beauty anti-ageing industry is booming. But without caution, it can turn into a dangerous chase. The question isn't whether we can look younger. The question is: at what cost?'The industry is growing fast, but so is the demand for shortcuts, especially for things like overnight fairness. That's where the real risk lies,' warned Dr Taneja, stressing that consistency, not speed, was key to visible, long-term results.- EndsMust Watch
