Life gives ‘Kaanta Laga girl' Shefali Jariwala a second chance, from pain to love
Actor Shefali Jariwala, widely known as the 'Kaanta Laga girl', passed away at the age of 42, leaving many in shock. She was married to television actor Parag Tyagi. However, before meeting Parag, Shefali was married to musician Harmeet Singh in 2004 and later separated in 2009. In an interview with Times Now, Shefali expressed that emotional respect was absent in their marriage, putting her in mental distress that pushed her to end the five year long relationship. 'It is very important to understand that you are not being appreciated. Not every kind of violence is physical. There is a lot of mental violence that also happens, and you are very unhappy in your life," she said. In several other interviews, Shefali claimed that her financial independence and upbringing empowered her to walk away from a bad marriage. Post her divorce, Shefali met television actor Parag Tyagi at a dinner party hosted by a mutual friend. Speaking with Times Now, Shefali shared she was single at that time and her meeting with Parag was an arranged date. 'We really liked each other a lot and hit it off instantly. Parag and I are very similar and different in many ways. I think we kind of balance each other out.' Parag and Shefali dated for a couple of years before getting married in August 2014. Parag Tyagi is known for his roles in Pavitra Rishta and Jodha Akbar. He also participated in the celebrity dance reality show Nach Baliye with Shefali.

Aishwarya Rai was thrown from these 5 blockbusters with Shah Rukh Khan without..., the films are...
Aishwarya Rai was thrown from these 5 blockbusters with Shah Rukh Khan without..., the films are... In the glitzy and glamorous world of Bollywood, it's often the dazzling and glittering lives of celebrities that come to the forefront. However, their challenges and struggles that happen behind the scenes are often brushed under the carpet. One such story is of India's most celebrated actress who is not only known for her beauty, impeccable acting but also for presenting India on a global stage. Yes, we are talking about Aishwarya Rai Bachchan. While now Aishwarya has become a seasoned actress, back in the day, she was dominating the entertainment landscape. But while she was bagging a lot of appreciation and love at the peak of her career, she also underwent a setback that's unknown to many. Dropped without warning In a throwback interview with Rendezvous with Simi Garewal, Aishwarya Rai revealed that while she was at the top of her game, she was removed from not just one, two, but five major projects all opposite Shah Rukh Khan. And what was even more painful for her was that she didn't get any explanation for the same. These 5 projects included major blockbusters like Chalte Chalte, Kal Ho Naa Ho, and Veer-Zaara, which were written keeping her in mind. She was removed from these roles without any justification, which left her feeling despair, shocked, and hurt. Expressing her hurt, she said: 'There were a couple of films that were supposed to happen with me. But suddenly they weren't happening, without any reason whatsoever.' Simi also asked Aishwarya if she decided to step away from those films, she replied: 'No, it wasn't my decision. You obviously are taken aback, confused, and of course hurt. You wonder about it.' Harsh Lesson Learnt Aishwarya, further expressing her discontent, revealed that this situation opened her eyes to how the industry works. 'You become more aware of what you've heard about, like in terms of situations, people, and the domino effect,' she remarked. Aishwarya was a big actress at that time who delivered back-to-back hits, and this unfairness was an epitome of the unpredictability and instability of this industry. 'It became obvious that it can happen to me too…with all your apparent box office success or 'secure positioning' in the industry,' she said. Rising with Grace Despite the professional blows, Aishwarya didn't let the bitterness take over; she rather chose to move on with grace and continued to excel in her career. After that, she delivered powerful performances in films like Dhoom 2, Jodhaa Akbar, and more.
