When Shefali Jariwala recalled bagging her iconic song 'Kaanta Laga'; revealed she faced a lot of difficulty convincing her family
Shefali Jariwala, fondly remembered for her unforgettable appearance in the iconic music video Kaanta Laga and her strong presence on Bigg Boss 13, passed away on June 27, reportedly due to cardiac arrest. Her untimely death at the age of 42 has left her family, friends, and fans devastated. In a throwback interview with The Times of India TV, Shefali Jariwala opened up about how she landed the iconic song Kaanta Laga. She also spoke candidly about the challenges she faced convincing her parents to let her take up the project, as she came from a family of professionals with no background in the entertainment industry. Speaking about bagging Kaanta Laga in a throwback interview in 2020, Shefali shared that it happened out of the blue, "Kaanta Laga happened completely unexpectedly. I was standing outside my college when Radhika and Vinay Sapru, the directors of the album, spotted me and offered me the song. At first, I wasn't sure because I came from a family of professionals—doctors, engineers, and chartered accountants. No one in my family had ever done anything related to the entertainment world. It was tough convincing my family, especially since I was quite young at the time. But Radhika and Vinay supported me a lot. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like They Were So Beautiful Before; Now Look At Them; Number 10 Will Shock You Reportingly Undo I took up the song just for fun, honestly, mainly because I was excited to see myself on TV and, of course, for the pocket money, which felt like a big deal back then. I had to work really hard because I didn't know how to dance. Radhika and Vinay put in a lot of effort with me, from rehearsals to grooming. When the song was released, it became an instant hit. It truly felt like a dream come true." While many viewed Kaanta Laga as bold for its time, Shefali Jariwala disagreed with that perception. She believed the song wasn't bold in terms of appearance but was impactful because of the rebellious attitude portrayed in it. "Kaanta Laga wasn't bold in the way people often think. If you actually watch the video, I was fully covered, no revealing clothes, no cleavage, nothing like that. The boldness came from the character's attitude, she was a rebel, and that's what stood out to people more than her appearance. In real life too, I've always been someone who doesn't take nonsense. I'm a bit of a rebel myself. At that time, my exams were around the corner, and I had to promise my parents that I wouldn't let my grades drop. My father also made me promise that I would never give up on my education. Even though the song became a huge hit and I started getting a lot of big offers, I stayed focused on my studies. I was pursuing engineering, and I made sure to complete it, I kept the promise I made to my parents." The actress was very proud of her song and in the interview, she expressed happiness on being called the 'Kaanta Laga girl', "I feel really happy because people spend their whole lives trying to build a name for themselves, and my very first song gave me a strong identity. There will never be another 'Kaanta Laga' girl, it's only me. I feel truly lucky and blessed that I didn't have to struggle much, and my debut song gave me so much recognition. I enjoy it when people call me the 'Kaanta Laga girl' wherever I go, even when I travel abroad for shows. I still get invited to perform on Kaanta Laga, and I always do it with joy. Not a single day goes by when I'm not thankful for that opportunity, it was truly a dream come true," she concluded. MYSTERY BEHIND SHEFALI JARIWALA'S DEATH: POLICE REVEAL SHOCKING DETAILS
