Shefali Jariwala's sudden death has left everyone shocked and numb. The actress passed away on Friday night at 42. Initially, it was said that the actress died due to cardiac arrest.

While no official statement has been issued about the cause or nature of her death, the presence of police and forensic officials suggests that the authorities are treating the case as suspicious.
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. Her entry into the Bigg Boss house was particularly talked about due to her history with fellow contestant and late actor Sidharth Shukla. The two had dated over a decade ago, but Shefali maintained that they were always respectful of each other on and off the show.
Several television actors took to their respective social media handles to mourn the death of Shefali Jariwala. Himanshi Khurana, who also participated in Bigg Boss 13 with Shefali Jariwala, took to her Instagram stories and shared a throwback picture with the actress. 'Bigg Boss that place is cursed I think," she wrote.
