How Shefali Jariwala's Bigg Boss Family Said Goodbye To Her: 'Crazy Child'
Years after her stint in the 2002 music video Kaanta Laga, Shefali Jariwala once again took the small screen by storm, this time by featuring on the popular albeit controversial reality TV series Bigg Boss. She appeared on the 13th season of the show back in 2019.
During her time in the Bigg Boss house, Shefali Jariwala made some friends for life such as Arti Singh, Paras Chhabra, Hindustani Bhau, Shehnaaz Gill, and Rashami Desai who attended her funeral on Saturday. Her last post on X was an homage to Sidharth Shukla, the Bigg Boss 13 winner who died of cardiac arrest in 2021.
Some of her fellow Bigg Boss 13 housemates paid their emotional and heartfelt tributes to her when she died on Friday night.
Arti Singh, who remained Shefali Jariwala's close friend even after Bigg Boss 13 wrapped, wrote a lengthy and sentimental note for the actor on Instagram.
Arti Singh called Shefali Jariwala "a crazy super happy child" who was clean at heart and only spread love wherever she went.
"I was always in awe of your beauty. When you entered Bigg Boss I couldn't take my eyes off you," she wrote, recalling how Shefali Jariwala would ask her to get a facial done before her wedding.

Shefali Jariwala Was Always A Daddy's Girl, From Kaanta Laga Days To His Battle With Cancer
New Delhi: Shefali Zariwala was only 19 when she featured in the Kaanta Laga remix video. Like any other father, her father Satish Jariwala, too, didn't want her to step into the world of glamour, modelling at a tender age. Shefali wanted to pursue her dream. So her father set a condition. The obedient girl listened to it. Years ago, Shefali Zariwala AKA the Kaanta Laga Girl told in an interview with Dainik Bhaskar that her father wanted her to finish the studies before she took up the music video assignment. Coming from a traditional Gujarati family, academics was given the first and foremost priority. Shefali revealed it was only after she promised to finish her studies, her father let her take up the music video. Shefali earned a degree in Computer Engineering from Sardar Patel Engineering College and even became an IT professional. However, balancing studies and career was not always an easy task, she said later. During the same interview, she thanked her parents for insisting her on completing studies. The discipline, she said, later helped her to shape her life. Shefali was an out-and-out family person. Her Instagram posts screamed love, togetherness and family bonding. A couple of months ago, Shefali shared a fun picture with her father in which they can be seen making a splash in a swimming pool. She captioned the picture, "My forever-Valentine, My Dad!"

I love you." View this post on Instagram A post shared by Shefali Jariwala 🧿 (@shefalijariwala) Shefali always stood by her father during his battle with colon cancer. After Poonam Panday made a hoax of her death to spread awareness against cancer, Shefali wrote a strong note slamming her move. She also revealed her father's cancer battle and that's why she was very sensitive about such posts. An excerpt from her post read, "Deeply saddened and hurt how some people can use CANCER for publicity. I can't believe how insensitive people are. I don't know Poonam Pandey at all, but the fake drama of her demise to cervical cancer deeply affected me." "...The last few months have been difficult as my father has been undergoing treatment for Colon Cancer - stage 3. Not being able to sleep all of last night and being anxious as f*#k makes me so angry. In the name of creating awareness pls stop playing with people's emotions! Creating awareness on a SM platform is one thing but faking your own death is so low... This is not a joke... cancer is not a joke!" she added.

Video: Bizarre 10-Foot-Tall Pink "Foot Fountain" That Sprays Water Pops Up In New York
A 10-foot-tall pink "Foot Fountain" has popped up at the High Line in New York, courtesy of Argentine artist Mika Rottenberg. The giant pink foot-shaped art installation, adorned with red-lipped mouths and tongues, features a working sprinkler at the tip. This quirky sculpture lets people activate pedals to squirt water out of its tip, allowing New Yorkers to have a bit of fun and splash others. According to the artist, it's a playful twist on traditional classical fountains. The structure is an "irreverent take on the tradition of classical fountains that are commonly plopped into the middle of a square or in gardens, their water forever self-contained," according to a press release. View this post on Instagram A post shared by The High Line (@highlinenyc) The sculpture has drawn mixed reactions. Some see it as playful, while others find it bizarre or question its funding. Its provocative design has also drawn plenty of raised eyebrows and glances from passersby, with many unable to resist making cheeky comments about the unusual sculpture. Some Instagram users pointed out that the sculpture's design, featuring multiple mouths and tongues, might be seen as a representation of herpes or other STIs. One user even called it "herpetic." Danny R, a 29-year-old visitor from San Francisco, described the sculpture as "uncomfortable" despite being a fan of the artist's work. "It gives some kind of itch because of the holes and stuff coming out of it. It's disturbing. But it's cool, really cool," she said. Another person on Instagram wrote, "It is ugly. It's just art for art's sake. I expect more from the greatest city in the world." Some people had a more lighthearted reaction to the artwork. Angie R, a 35-year-old mom from the Upper West Side, enjoyed the "funky" installation while Italian tourist Katie Sareno, 27, also loved it, calling it fun and kid-friendly. "The kids love it because it's really just a tall sprinkler. So they can run around it while one of them is using the bike," she said.
