Mini Mathur reacts to Shefali Jariwala's death, urging caution with anti-ageing treatments. 'I take supplements too, but always under medical supervision,' she says.
The untimely passing of actor Shefali Jariwala on June 27 has left the entertainment industry reeling with shock and sorrow. As condolences continue to pour in, questions around her death and the possible link to self-administered anti-ageing therapies have surfaced, prompting a wider conversation about celebrity beauty regimens and health practices.
Amid the ongoing investigation, which suggests Shefali may have been self-medicating with anti-ageing treatments and supplements, actor and model Mini Mathur has weighed in—urging caution, awareness, and the importance of medical supervision when it comes to such procedures.
In a candid conversation with Vickey Lalwani, Mini expressed concern about the pressures women face to maintain a certain appearance in the public eye. 'It's not a glamorous conversation to have, but the fact is that people need to talk about these issues publicly so that the level of awareness increases," she said. 'I'm not here to judge anyone who chooses to get treatments or cosmetic enhancements. But I firmly believe there's no point in looking good if you're not feeling great on the inside."
Addressing the speculation around Shefali's passing, Mini was clear about her boundaries: 'I am not qualified to talk about this. I don't know what her medical reports say, and I don't believe everything I read online. Unless a certified doctor verifies something, we can't really know what happened."
However, Mini did acknowledge that the use of supplements like glutathione or energizing vitamin drips is not uncommon among celebrities, including herself. 'There's nothing wrong with taking health-boosting supplements, but everything should be under proper medical guidance," she stated. 'No one is a doctor here, and you never know how your body may react. That's why I never take chances."
Emphasizing her personal protocol, Mini said, 'I check and double-check everything. If a needle goes into my body, I make sure it's from a sealed package. I'm paranoid about safety—and rightfully so. Too many things can go wrong if you're careless."
Mini also revealed that she has taken energizing drips in the past but always under strict supervision. 'Yes, I take a lot of supplements, but I always consult professionals. Supervision is paramount," she reiterated.
Shefali's close friend, Pooja Ghai, also shared that on the day of her death, Shefali had taken her routine Vitamin C IV drip, which she had often used before. Police reports indicate that she had consumed her regular pills on Friday night and received an anti-ageing injection—something she had reportedly been taking for years under expert advice. Later that night, she experienced a sudden drop in blood pressure and began shivering. Her family rushed her to the hospital, but she tragically did not survive.
While the final medical report is awaited, Shefali Jariwala's passing has sparked an urgent conversation about safety, awareness, and the unseen pressures behind the glamour. As Mini Mathur summed it up: 'We owe it to ourselves to feel good inside and out—and that begins with care, caution, and honest conversations."
