Along with an old picture of Shefali, he wrote an emotional message: "One of the most shocking moments of my life. I'm absolutely shattered and in disbelief after hearing about Shefali's sudden and untimely demise. We shared a few beautiful years together a long time ago--memories I'll always hold close to my heart. My deepest condolences to her parents, Satish ji and Sunita ji, her husband Parag, and her sister Shivani. Being away in Europe right now, it's painful for me not to be there for the last rites. Gone far too soon. I pray to the Almighty for her soul to rest in peace and for strength to her family during this unimaginable time. Jai Shree Krishna." Shefali Jariwala's life and death
Shefali Jariwala became an overnight sensation in 2002 after her hit music video Kaanta Laga. The then 19-year-old did not take up much work after that as she battled epilepsy. Over the next two decades, she worked in only two films and a handful of TV shows, most notably Bigg Boss 13 in 2020. In Nach Baliye, she participated alongside her husband, actor Parag Tyagi.
On Friday night, Shefali was rushed to Bellevue Multispeciality Hospital in Mumbai by Parag and three others, where she was declared dead upon arrival.

Lauren Sanchez's pre-wedding trousseau had an Indian connection; Here's what we know
(Image Credits: Instagram) After weeks of keeping things hushed, Amazon founder Jeff Bezos tied the knot for the second time with American-Mexican journalist Lauren Sanchez in Venice, Italy. The star-studded, high-profile wedding turned out to be the affair of the year, with the bride walking the aisle in a stunning Dolce & Gabbana gown, which was an ode to the 1950s glamour. While the bride's trousseau was carefully followed by the fashion police, she made heads turn with her striking presence in every ensemble, proving her fashion prowess. But what stood out was her choice of accessory – a sleek black clutch from the Indian luxury label Ahikoza by Brham. Lauren carried this satin-crafted signature barrel-shaped clutch with her one-shoulder black sequinned pre-wedding dress. Adding a hint of Indian luxury, this sleek accessory from Ahikoza by Brham was founded by designer Namrata Karad a decade ago. Representing quiet luxury and rooted in the philosophy of understated elegance, this timeless piece made an elegant appearance without looking flashy and had no logos or advertisements, but a regal presence. (Image Credits: Instagram) In a heartfelt LinkedIn post, Namrata Karad's husband, Varun Karad, celebrated this proud moment and wrote, 'I rarely post about fashion, but today, I just have to. My wife, Namrata, founded Ahikoza By Brham, a luxury handbag label, 10 years ago with a bold vision: create timeless pieces that embody discreet luxury. There are no loud logos or billboards. Just elegance, quality, and quiet power.' He further added, 'Her bags have been worn by some of the most iconic names in Bollywood, Hollywood, and the fashion world. But today? Something extraordinary happened. Lauren Sanchez – fiancée of the world's richest man – carried Ahikoza. Think about that: someone who can buy anything in the world chose this bag. That's what true luxury looks like – it doesn't need to be explained. It resonates with those who understand. Most people haven't heard of Ahikoza. That's because it wasn't made for most people. But as Namrata's husband, I've seen the artistry and grit behind every piece – and today, I couldn't be prouder." Lauren Sanchez ditched the heavy accessory road and completed the look with her signature solitaire engagement ring and left her hair down in soft waves. Opting for radiant and sculpted makeup, she added a hint of drama with flushed cheeks and sealed the makeup show with a nude gloss charm. (Image Credits: Instagram) However, this is not the first time that Ahikoza went international, as the brand is quietly building its global reputation and is seen carried by several Hollywood celebrities such as Jenna Ortega, Kate Hudson, Mindy Kaling, Catherine O'Hara, Helen Mirren, and others. As South Asia has such a rich history of craftsmanship, India has been a hub for textiles since ancient times, where the crafts have been developed and refined for thousands of years. This, along with the nation's vast diversity of ethnic groups, makes the journey magical. So much of what we see being made by clothing brands in the West is derived and sourced from here. Jeff Bezos & Lauren Sanchez's Lavish Wedding Plans Unveiled; Here's What To Expect Therefore, when one of us breaks the monotony and represents all at an international level, it is not a moment of triumph just for the brand but for all of us.

'Media would write Sridevis dumb, I refuse to believe that': Poonam Dhillon
Mumbai (Maharashtra) [India], June 30 (ANI): Veteran actor Poonam Dhillon, who won countless hearts with her graceful screen presence and ethereal beauty as part of Indian cinema since the late 70s, continues to captivate audiences with her timeless charm. Recently, Poonam sat down with ANI to give a sneak peek into how yesteryear actresses used to behave on and off sets. Poonam quipped, "Oh, I've done that for years. I was this dumb blonde. I didn't understand anything anybody was saying for years and years." She also explained why earlier heroines used to behave in such a manner. And it does make sense. "It was for two reasons. Sometimes if non-veg jokes were being cracked on the set so you didn't sit and guffaw with them. You just pretended you didn't understand only what they've said. So that, you know, that little distance is maintained. Because the moment you start backslapping and cracking non-veg jokes with the heroes, they, in our times, used to think that it's a signal that you are a little more than willing for certain things. So being dumb was very convenient for years," Poonam said. She also talked about how the media had misconceptions about late actor Sridevi. "Sridevi is such a brilliant actor. She cannot be so brilliant if she were dumb. The media would write, 'oh she's dumb. She'll say ask mummy, ask mummy.' I say that's a ploy. She's a very bright and sharp girl. Otherwise, how can she be such an amazing actor? I refuse to believe it," Poonam recalled. Poonam worked with Sridevi in films such as 'Sone Pe Suhaaga' and 'Judaai'. Poonam's films 'Red Rose' and 'Nishana' were also Hindi remakes of Sridevi's notable movies in Tamil and Telugu languages. Opening up about her experience working with the late star, Poonam shared, "I've always been an admirer of her work. I have worked with her in a couple of she was a subdued person." Sridevi breathed her last on February 24, 2018, in Dubai. (ANI)
